Help OLM Replace Vandalized Statues of Mary

Brian Allen on behalf of KofC and OLMCA is organizing this fundraiser to benefit Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Academy.

Tax deductible

Please join the Knights of Columbus - Our Lady of Mercy Council and Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Academy in replacing the 84-year old statues of the Blessed Mother and St. Therese the Little Flower.

In the early morning hours of July 17, 2021, the venerable statues of the Blessed Mother and St. Therese the Little Flower, that have stood outside our church in Forest Hills since 1937, were destroyed in an apparent anti-Catholic hate crime.

Artisans inspecting the damage have determined that the statues are beyond repair and will have to be replaced.

Will you please consider helping us restore these proud symbols of our parish?

If you are more comfortable, donations can also be sent directly to the rectory at: Our Lady of Mercy Church, 70-01 Kessel Street Forest Hills, NY 11375
