We are pleased to announce that our Fr. Redmond Memorial Scholarship is fully funded at $25,000 raised in order to offer a perpetual $1,000 scholarship to one of our graduating 8th graders attending a Catholic high school. Thank you for your generosity! If you have not had an opportunity to donate and would like to do so, please see this weekend’s bulletin or visit the parish website for more information.

Please reflect on the impact that Father Redmond made on your life, your family, and this parish over the nearly decade in which he served as Pastor. May God bless you and may you be generous in response to this memorial appeal.

The fundraising campaign for the Father Daniel P. Redmond Memorial Scholarship Fund continues and your participation is prayerfully requested. We are asking that every parish household consider supporting this effort to create a lasting memorial to our late pastor, who passed away six months ago on May 9, 2021.

With this announcement, we are completing our first week of fundraising for the Father Daniel P. Redmond Memorial Scholarship Fund. We are asking that every parish household consider supporting this effort to create a lasting memorial to our late pastor, who was called to his heavenly home at an early age. As previously stated, the three primary objectives of this Fund are as follows:

Through the above identified scholarship program, the Catholic communities of Chardon and Thompson look to honor the leadership and service of our former pastor, Father Daniel P. Redmond, who passed away suddenly last spring. Over nearly a decade, from November 2011 to May 2021, Father Redmond was spiritual leader to the parishes of Saint Mary, Chardon, and Saint Patrick, Thompson. Father Scott Goodfellow has authorized the creation of a Memorial Scholarship Fund in Father Redmond’s name.

To honor the leadership and service of our former pastor, Father Daniel P. Redmond, to the parishes of Saint Mary, Chardon, and Saint Patrick, Thompson, over nearly a decade from November 2011 to May 2021, Father Scott Goodfellow has authorized the creation of a Memorial Scholarship Fund in Father Redmond’s name. It is hoped that sufficient funds can be raised to provide one or more annual scholarships to graduating eighth grade students from Saint Mary School who are to attend Catholic high schools.
