War Time Honor Rolls

Two posters are framed near the entrance of St. Mary’s, on which are inscribed the names of servicemen and women who served during World War I and World War II.

Silver stars () appear next to some of the names on the WW I poster; Gold stars () appear on the WW II poster. Traditionally, gold stars indicate servicemen who were killed; it is uncertain if the silver stars on the WW I poster were intended to indicate those wounded or those killed.

It is possible that some names of parishioners serving in the military at that time may have been overlooked. Likewise, the accuracy of the stars applied to the names is uncertain.
