• Stella Maris, (Our Lady, Star of the Sea) Catholic Parish in Northern Door County has selected a new parish logo. Designed by Sara Holloway, daughter of parishioners Carol and Patrick Eaton, Holloway’s was the winning design chosen among several submitted entries.

Reverend David Ruby, pastor of Stella Maris, is thrilled with the new logo, saying, “When we requested new parish logo designs, little did we know we would have such wonderful responses. Sara’s design was ultimately chosen for the creative and prayerful way she incorporated the meaning of Our Lady Star of the Sea.”

Stella Maris Catholic Parish is the result of the 2005 merger of the Catholic parishes in Northern Door County encompassing churches in Baileys Harbor, Egg Harbor, Fish Creek, Jacksonport, Sister Bay and Washington Island.
