Deanery Grant for St. Mary's Work with Hope and Beyond
The San Francisco Deanery of the Episcopal Diocese of California has approved a $1,000 to St. Mary’s to support Hope Beyond, a nonprofit organization serving women who are incarcerated in and being released from California’s state prisons. Parishioner Linda Connelly introduced Hope Beyond founders, Jodi DeMillo and Celia Firl, at an adult forum presentation in August 2023. Hope Beyond specifically provides resources and hope to women “lifers,” both in prison and upon parole. The grant will help support St. Mary’s partnership with Hope Beyond in extending that hope to those who have so little of it and feel especially abandoned during the holiday season.
