The Mary Blair Society

Mary Loving Blair Founding Headmistress November 12, 1917 - June 19, 2010

The Mary Blair Society, established in 2009 to honor the society's namesake, is a group of forward-thinking individuals who, like many visionaries in Parish’s history, have included the School in their planned giving.

On June 26, 1972, Mrs. Blair, along with Father James J. Niles of The Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration, founded Parish Day School. As our founding headmistress, Mrs. Blair's vision and entrepreurial spirit established the foundation of Parish and continues to be an integral part of our school community.

The Mary Blair Society recognizes and honors those who have thoughtfully provided for the School by including Parish  in their estate plans.

Join the Mary Blair Society by naming Parish Episcopal School in your estate plans – gifts include bequests, charitable remainder trusts, gift annuities, charitable lead trusts, life insurance policies and select gifts of real estate.   Your participation is ongoing.  There is no minimum gift and gifts may be designated to a specific purpose, department or program. Undesignated gifts go toward building Parish’s endowment, to provide a permanent and perpetual source of income for the School

By joining the society now, we can show our gratitude to you now for ensuring that the School will continue to inspire generations to come through your planned gifts, and be able to build upon the strength and programs in perpetuity. 

If you would like to explore planned giving options and join The Mary Blair Society, please contact Diana Sobey at 972.852.8785 or at dsobey@parishepiscopal.org.
