Fr. John will be available after Mass to sign copies of his book.  Cash, checks, or credit cards are accepted. Thank you!  

Many thanks and blessings to all of our parishioners who helped make the food fest a great success. Special thanks to Patty Parma, Dwight Elbel, and the men of the Holy Name Society who organized the food fest and the ladies of the Altar Society. You are all a blessing to the parish. 

Thank you, Chris and Patty Parma, for purchasing Advent reflection booklets for the parish family of St. Mary’s church. The booklets offer daily prayers and reflections to bring the reader joy throughout the Advent season.
