OUR MISSION
At St. Mary’s, we follow Christ with joy, welcoming all into the heart of the Catholic faith and growing together as His disciples. Through the Eucharist, the sacraments, and a life of prayer and service, we learn to live the Gospel with hope and purpose. Grateful for God’s grace, we use our gifts to build a warm, vibrant parish rooted in Christ’s love.
Message from Fr. Jose
It is my delight to welcome you to our parish. Our intent is to reach you wherever you are and our website will help us to stay connected as a Church family even when you cannot be physically present in the Church with the rest of our community. Here you’ll get an overview of our Church and activities. I hope you find all the information you are looking for, and if you need anything else please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
Our Church family is very vibrant and offers a number of ministries to get involved in the Church. It is my prayer that all of our parishioners be inspired to get involved in one or more ministries in our Church. Please give it some thought and prayer. All that we have comes from God. Let us give back to Him in gratitude as good stewards by sharing our time, talent and material resources with the Church.
“Give and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing, will be poured out into your lap. For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you” (Lk. 6:38).
OUR HISTORY
St. Mary's traces its beginnings to 1884, when local Catholics built the first small church, and establishing the parish in September 1886 with the arrival of its first resident pastor, Fr. Roo. Over the next century, the parish grew through new church buildings, expanding ministries, and the work of Jesuit, Franciscan, and diocesan clergy, shaping the vibrant Catholic community that developed from its early mission‑station roots.
We're so glad you're here!
