| Church of Saint Mary |
As a
Catholic parish in the modern world, we have committed ourselves
to sharing Christ with our brothers and sisters.
Our Catholic
faith reminds us that Christ is present in a real way in the world
today. Christ is present in the Word we proclaim! Christ is present
when we gather together! Christ is present in our priestly ministry!
And Christ is uniquely present in our Eucharist!
God's
Love for all is truly a mystery that we strive throughout our lives
to understand and share. We invite you to explore this site and
find out more about the opportunities available for you to share
in the Faith and grow in the Mystery. There are many aspects of
our parish that allow you, wherever you are on your faith journey,
to experience the presence of Christ!
We invite you to become a
member of our Parish family! Please stop by the Parish Office or
call 627-0385 for more information.
