We've Come This Far By Faith 2022 Giving Campaign

Over the years St. Mary Magdalene’s has made a difference in many lives. I am blessed to be part of such a special church and community. We are only able to make such a difference because of the faith and generosity of each of you. The last year and a half have been difficult as we have adapted to the pandemic which is still a part of our lives. Yet, we’ve come this far by faith and faith will continue to lead us.

I am writing to you as we continue our 2022 Annual Giving Campaign, We’ve Come This Far by Faith. Our goal is for all members of the St. Mary Magdalene family to make a financial pledge to the church in the upcoming year so that we continue on our journey in faith, we will be able to continue to carry out the work and ministries of our church, including our new Foster Youth Project, expanding our work with the homeless through Our Father’s House, and continuing on bringing St. Mary Magdalene and St. Martin’s together so we can expand our outreach into the communities around us. I hope we can count on your support. If you have already offered your pledge, thank you! Your gift will help us continue, in faith, the work that God has called us to do.

If you have lost your pledge card, contact the church office and we will send you a new one, or you can pick one up at the church. Alternatively, you can pledge by calling Carol, our parish administrator, with your pledge amount or you can use the following link to fill out your pledge directly in to REALM.

Your investment enables St. Mary Magdalene to carry out God’s work in the world. Please prayerfully consider your support of St. Mary Magdalene Episcopal Church and submit your pledge as soon as you are able.

If you have any questions, please let me know

Thank you! May God continue to bless you this day and always.

About the Author
Father Lee Davis

After a diverse career in marketing and finance and a sudden realization of the love and power of God that he discovered aboard a Navy ship, Father Lee Davis has the distinction of being baptized, confirmed, and received for Holy Orders on the same Sunday. He studied at Bexley Hall Seminary in Columbus, Ohio where he received a Master's of Divinity degree in 2009 and then served as priest-in-charge of St. Andrew's in Hollywood, Florida as well as an assisting priest at St. Benedict's in Plantation. Father Lee also worked as a Hospice Chaplain. When he left after a little more than two years, St. Andrew's had grown in membership and under his guidance extended its outreach into the community. He was also a pivotal leader of the Jubilee Center of Hollywood, a vital outreach ministry to the homeless and hungry, and served on the Board of Directors for St. Lawrence Chapel, serving the homeless in Pompano Beach. He also served on several diocesan committees working with the youth of the diocese.


In December 2012, Father Lee was called as rector of St. Anne's Episcopal Church in Damascus, Maryland. During his 8 year tenure there the vestry of the parish noted that "His dynamic leadership, inspired preaching, creative ideas and compassionate pastoral care combined to bring a new level of excitement, commitment, and growth among the congregation." Through his leadership, he developed partnerships with other organizations in the community, helped establish a transitional home for victim's of domestic violence, began the process of developing affordable senior housing on some of the acreages of land owned by the church, and grew stewardship achieving their first balanced budget in over a decade. At the beginning of the COVID pandemic, he led the congregation into the development of an online presence and with a couple of dedicated lay members started a feeding program for families in need which continues today. He served in the Diocese of Washington DC helping in the implementation of a Diaconate Formation program as well as being on the Board of Directors of the Washington Episcopal Clergy Association and serving on the Diocesan Executive Council.


Amidst the COVID pandemic, Father Lee accepted the call to be our rector and began his tenure in September 2019. His leadership has already blessed our community.
