Our Generous God Shows Us a New Way of Life

If a parish is really alive with the Spirit of Jesus Christ, it must reflect God’s generous love in its community life. See how they love one another was the reputation the early church had among it's neighbors. Our own Saint Mary’s parish is trying to be a living example of God’s love in the world. Although we often struggle to live that love, there are many exciting and profound ways that God’s love is already evident.

This page attempts to express some of the ways that the people of Saint Mary's offer their time, talent, wisdom and resources to serve others and to celebrate their Catholic tradition. We invite you to take a little time to get a sense of our parish life. Perhaps you might even find yourself being attracted to help or participate in one or more of these ministries, programs or services. We encourage and challenge you to become involved in the ministries, committees or groups that make Saint Mary's such a vibrant and caring community.  Each Page has access to a sign-up form from which you can request further information.

This page also contains many links to the Catechism of the Catholic Church and other informative sites to help you understand the reasons for these ministries and other opportunities available through them.
