During Algoma’s Shanty Days event, typically held on the second weekend of August, St. Mary Parish runs a food tent in the main grounds. Volunteers are needed to prepare the food during the week before the event, and to staff the food tent during Shanty Days. Funds earned go toward capital improvements of the Church and School.
During most Fridays in Lent, troutboils are held in the St. Mary cafeteria. They are used as fundraisers for various Parish and School groups, such as Buildings & Grounds, the Home and School Association, and the 8th Grade Class.
