The Saber Strong Campaign is an effort to support Manistee Catholic Central.

As of June 5, the Diocese of Gaylord has closed MCC.  The MCCS Foundation is working with a canon lawyer and has filed an appeal to Rome requesting the closure be investigated and the decision to close the school be reversed.  This appeal has been received and is currently under investigation.  Updates as to the progress of the appeal will be posted on the MCCS Foundation website (www.manisteeccsfoundation.org) as they are available.

Donors may request a refund by browsing to www.manisteeccsfoundation.org and filling out the “Contact us” form at the bottom of the page.  These requests are sent to our treasurer and we will follow-up with your request within 2-3 business days.  Should the appeal be decided in favor of the school closure, any unclaimed donations at the end of the refund period will be transferred into the MCCS Foundation general fund.

6/18/2024 update: The MCCS Foundation has suspended the original June 30th deadline to request a refund of donated funds due to the fact that the appeal process is still ongoing.  A new deadline to request refunds will be decided at the July 15^th MCCS Foundation Board Meeting, which will be posted on our Zeffy donation page and our MCCS Foundation website.  Please be assured that donors will have time under the new deadline date to request a refund.

6/10/2024 update: Effective July 1, 2024, the Diocese of Gaylord announced that Fr. Mitchel Roman will be assigned to the parish cluster in Harbor Springs and Fr. James Bears will be assigned as pastor of Divine Mercy Parish in Manistee.  Please see the announcement from the Diocese of Gaylord for details.
