This change is effective Monday March 1, 2021
Effective November 14th confession will be heard in the lower Church from 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm.
The St. Mary’s Religious Education Program provides our children and adolescents with ongoing faith formation, spiritual encouragement, and development of the understanding and practice of being catholic in the world today. The programs strive to incorporate meaningful learning experiences designed to inform, guide and celebrate understanding of the Catholic faith. Children actively participate in prayer, worship, and service to others.
