Since the Second Vatican Council in the 1960’s, members of the laity in the Catholic Church have realized and rejoiced in the recognition that, by virtue of their Baptism, they are called to become active members of their parish through participation in a variety of ways.

This area is intended to give all of our parishioners an overview of the various ministries, committees and societies that are a vital part of the life of our parish. We invite you, our parishioners, newcomers and “veterans” alike, to look and see how God may be inviting you to share your time and talent with the parish, to become Stewards of St. Mary’s.

There are four cluster groups: Word, Worship, Community Building & Service. The ministries with the Word cluster recognize that we proclaim the word of God from the pulpit and in a classroom as well as various other means. Worship ministries involve parishioners in our communal prayer and worship at Sunday or daily Mass. As a parish, we recognize that we are brothers and sisters in the Lord, united one to another. Our Community Building ministries and committees strengthen those bonds of unity through social interaction. Last but not least, we as a parish are committed to care for one another. Through our Service ministries, we seek to reach out to those in need, both within the parish and “beyond our walls.”
