Join the Reconstruction Crew

Individuals, foundations, corporations, small businesses, social, religious, and civic groups from throughout Maryland and the nation are participating in The Chapel Campaign. The contributions made so far are a strong beginning for the project, but the reality is that additional gifts are still needed in order to complete and furnish the building. Our goal is to secure a minimum of $2,500,000 by the end of 2003, so as to stay on track to open the Brick Chapel the following year. Here are some tax-deductible ways you can help:

  • Write a check or donate appreciated stocks to the Historic St. Mary’s City Foundation.
  • Participate in the annual Chapel Gala and bid on one-of-a kind auction items.
  • Buy or give the superb limited-edition print of the Maryland Dove by George McWilliams; all proceeds support the Chapel reconstruction.
  • Buy bricks — for yourself, your family, and your friends! More than 100,000 bricks will be mortared into place as the Chapel walls rise again.
