This is perhaps why when St. Mary's sought financing to help them become an incorporated foundation (land appreciation tax alone cost NT $ 16 million) in April of 2009, the hospital raised an astonishing NT $ 89 million from generous contributors in just eight days, far in excess of the projected goal of NT $ 30 million.
也因此，當 2009 年 4 月，聖母醫院為能順利成立醫療財團法人（包括必需繳納 1,600 多萬元的土地增值稅）而向外界求援時，竟能在短短 8 天內籌募到 8,900 萬元（遠超過原定目標 3,000 萬元）的愛心捐款！
