St. Mary’s Church Restoration Project
St. Mary’s Church is a well-known landmark in Shrewsbury, now used as a cultural venue. Though no longer a place of worship, it remains a key part of the community. The upkeep of this historic building is expensive, and we’re collecting donations to help preserve it for future generations.
