Our parish is a large faith community, comprising more than 2400 families. We are proud to say that we are truly Catholic in the richest sense of that term since St. Mary's is a community of diverse ethnic backgrounds. Founded by parishioners of Irish descent, our parish now encompasses a broad range of cultures. In addition to various European ancestries, we also have families within our parish community who come from various Asian countries, particularly the Philippines and India.

We are a parish committed to ensuring that Jesus is the center of our lives. Our faith community seeks to strengthen the various ways through which we proclaim the Word constantly. We worship the Lord every weekend in our celebration of the Eucharist, thanking God for all that we have received at His hands. Following in the footsteps of Jesus, we are involved in programs of service which endeavor to care for the needs of those within as well as outside of our parish family. Finally, we build community, recognizing that we are bound to each other through the grace of Baptism and through the meal we share, the Eucharist.

Our website will go into greater detail as to who we are and the various ways in which we live out the Gospel message of Jesus. I encourage you to come and worship with us. When one prays with others, they can truly come to know the heart and soul of that faith community.

May the Lord, who has guided the steps of so many, be the source of your joy. May He lead you to His comforting presence so that you may always know His love for you.

In the love of the Lord,

Fr. Robert Laferrera
Pastor
