MISSION: Through a host of Parish ministries and organizations, we strive to carry out our mission of growing in the understanding of our priceless gift of faith, expressing that gift through our public and private prayer and the celebration of the sacraments, and witnessing to its power through service within our Parish and beyond its borders.

St. Mary Parish hosts a large number of very active ministries, events, and outreach programs.  Our Sunday liturgies are vibrant and lively, while always maintaining the sense of the sacred. The staff is dedicated, professional, and committed to excellence.

Most of all, the strength of our Parish resides in the hearts and minds of faithful Catholics like yourselves.  St. Mary Parish is, simply put, a community of believers that strive to live their faith by making a difference for Christ in the world.

As you look through this website, you will discover the richness of ministry here at St. Mary Parish and the many opportunities available to become more involved in living the Catholic faith.  Young or older, actively pursuing a career or currently retired - - there are many opportunities at St. Mary Parish for putting your unique gifts at the service of the Lord. 
            
Our patron, St. Mary, the Blessed Mother, watches over our Parish and guides us in many ways.
In our own time and place, within our families and neighborhoods, at work and in our Parish, let us do our best to follow Our Lady's example and bring Christ to others through our actions, supported by prayers of the Blessed Virgin and nourished by the Holy Eucharist.

Our parish uses both the envelope system as well as an online giving service. 

Envelopes - Envelopes are ordered a month in advance for the following two months, so depending on when you register during this cycle, you may need to use temporary envelopes at first. These are located in the back and side vestibules of the Church and on the tables at each entrance of the Parish Hall.  They are also available at our Parish Office.

Online Giving - If you prefer the convenience of online giving, you may click here for more information and a link to register.
