Monthly Adoration
Friday, December 5th
9:30 am - 11:00 am
All are welcomed to join us as we adore Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
Come at any time to spend quiet, prayerful time with Jesus.
Just as you can’t be exposed to the sun without receiving its rays, neither can you come to Jesus exposed in the Blessed Sacrament without receiving the divine rays of His grace, love, and peace.
Immaculate Conception
Holy Day of Obligation
Monday, December 8th
Masses 9 am & 6 pm
The Immaculate Conception is the Catholic doctrine that the Virgin Mary was conceived without the stain of original sin.
This doctrine states that from the very first moment of her conception, Mary was preserved free from original sin by a unique gift of grace from God, made possible by the foreseen merits of her son, Jesus Christ.
It is often confused with the conception of Jesus, but it refers specifically to Mary's conception in her mother Saint Anne's womb.
The Immaculate Conception was officially defined as a dogma in 1854 by Pope Pius IX.

Passing the Torch
At St. Mary’s, we are blessed with so many wonderful parishioners who generously share their time, talent, and treasure in service to our community.
Their dedication helps make our parish the vibrant and faith-filled place it is today. However, every now and then, it becomes time to “pass the torch.”
This allows others to step forward - bringing new ideas, fresh energy, and renewed vision to continue the good work that’s been started. Change can be bittersweet, but it’s also a beautiful reminder that our parish is full of caring, capable people who are ready to serve. Let us be thankful for those who have given so much, and supportive of those who will now take up the call to lead.
Many Thanks to Jan Meier!
For more than a decade, St Mary's community has had the pleasure of Jan running the Century Club and organizing extra fundraisers.
She will turn her focus to her family while continuing to manage BINGO.
Beginning next year, Jan will pass the torch!
Anyone interested in taking the torch, is encouraged to reach out to a Parish Ministry Team Member for more information.
