St. Mary’s Boosters
History
On December 6, 1954, a letter under the signature of Reverend
Chester J. Janczukowicz was sent to one hundred men of the
parish with an appeal to support the reorganization of the athletic
program of St. Mary’s School.
In February of 1956, Reverend Monsignor Charles J. Chwalek
assumed the duties of Pastor of Our Lady of Częstochowa Parish.
After a close study of parish potential, it was decided to organize
the men of the parish under the title of “St. Mary’s Boosters”. The
first meeting brought out one hundred and fifty supporters!
The membership was varied throughout the years, but the work of
St. Mary’s Boosters continues without reservation. Our Lady of
Częstochowa Parish and the students of St. Mary’s Schools have
benefitted over the years from the generosity and unselfishness of
Booster members. Since its inception, St. Mary’s Boosters have
donated over $150,000 to the school and the parish.
Most recently, the Boosters established the St. Mary’s Hall of
Fame. The first induction was held in late 2014 to a standing
room only dinner and celebration in the school auditorium. The
first inductee was a unanimous decision. The Boys 1962 Varsity
basketball team! This amazingly talented team proudly
represented St. Mary’s all the way to the New England
Tournament Championship game held at the Boston Garden.
They won and forever cemented their names into sports history
and St. Mary’s lore!
Congratulations to all present and former Booster members!
Thank you to everyone who has supported the organization
through the years with your prayers, volunteer work and financial
support. God bless – we love St. Mary’s!
