Eucharistic Miracles ExhibitCarlo Acutis was an Italian Catholic youth and amateur computer programmer, who is best known for documenting Eucharistic miracles around the world and cataloguing them onto a website which he created before his death from leukemia at age 15.
He was a regular student, a gamer, and loved sports, played the saxophone, and was a computer whiz. He was noted for his cheerfulness and deep devotion to the Eucharist, even though his family was not religious, which became a core theme of his life. He was beatified on 10 October 2020, two days before the 14th anniversary of his death. He did not strive to become famous but just to cooperate with God's graces as generously as possible.

Mary’s Religious FormatiON programSt. Mary’s Religious Formation Program has a freshnew look. This year we have revamped our CCD program for grades 3-11. We are focusing on making our program dynamic as well as building up a strong youth group community! This year we will be using LIFE TEEN, a Catholic youth ministry organization that believes the "Eucharist-based ministry has the power to transform teens, parishes and culture.”
We are currently looking for large group presenters and small group facilitators. Our large group presenters will be provided with specific topics from our LIFE TEEN manuals. They will provide a polished 25-minute presentation for a specific grade before breaking up into small groups. Our small group facilitators will be used to discuss the topics presented in the large group setting with their small groups.
If you have any questions, please contact Mari at [email protected] or call 568-1127.

Bakers, cooks, packers and drivers are the primary positions. If you would like to serve this ministry and be a part of this group, or have questions, please see the contact info below. We would love to have you. Please contact Bob and Vicky Stoops at [email protected] for further information.

music ministryOur parish music program is always in need of volunteers. We have four rotating Spanish-language ensembles who play once a month and rehearse on their own. We have an Adult Choir which rehearses on Thursday evenings at 6:30 and sings weekly at the 8:30 Mass. The Folk Group rehearses on Mondays at 6 and sings at 10:00 Mass. The Children's Choir is currently only being run through the elementary school. We hope to have an option for public school students next year. There is no prior experience necessary to join these ensembles, just a willingness to sing and to learn! If you're interested in more information, please contact Rob Lepage or visit the choir loft after Mass.
