Welcome to St. Mary’s Parish

We are so happy and blessed to have you visit our website.  St. Mary’s is a parish deeply rooted in the mission of the Church, where prayer and the sacraments are at the center of what we do.  Our magnificent upper Church, dedicated in 1900, is the heart of our parish.  In the lower level of the Church you will find Mary Hall, where many parish events take place.  There you will also see the Life House, the location of our very vibrant Life Teen Youth Ministry Program, which is in its 21st year.  The Parish Center houses the parish offices, and is located in the brick building behind the Church.  The rectory is next to the Church.  It is the residence of the parish priests, as well as for other priests with responsibilities throughout the Archdiocese.  The priests and entire staff are here for you.

The Church is open daily from 7:00 am – 6:00 pm & Saint Joseph Chapel is open daily to the public for Perpetual Adoration from 6:00 am – 11:00 pm  (The Church & Chapel are handicap accessible by the rear parking lot).

Saint Mary’s has Perpetual Adoration in Saint Joseph’s Chapel

Jesus waits for you in the Blessed Sacrament ~ Let your heart be moved by Him!

He waits to see you and longs for your friendship. Spending time with Him in Adoration not only radiates grace to the world and gives life to your soul, but it gives His heart joy! He waits to hear your needs and concerns. Jesus wants to hear about what’s important to you. Confidently bring it to Him in prayer. Talk to Him as your best friend. He cares about you! He waits to encounter your love and is present in the Eucharist and in every person you meet. Reach out each day with acts of kindness to others. It transforms hearts and helps others tangibly experience the goodness of God! Pray to Him daily. Visit Jesus in the tabernacle and Eucharistic Adoration. Let your heart be moved by Him!

There is a new addition to St. Joseph Chapel!  As you enter the Chapel, you will notice posters of Eucharistic Miracles.  Please take a moment and check out these extraordinary miracles.  Periodically the posters will be changed to introduce you to the various miracles.

Wisdom of God in the Lives of the Saints

by Fr. Dominic

The Virgin used me as a broom to remove the dust. When the broom is done, the broom is put behind the door again.” -Saint Bernadette Soubirous

What a great example of humility! When Our Lady appeared to Saint Bernadette, Her message to the saint was one of prayers and penances for the conversion of sinners! This humble saint heeded the words of the Blessed Mother and acted on them without hesitation. If we want to do great things in this life, then we need to do exactly what Our Lady is asking of us. Recall the inspired words of Her Canticle: “my soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my Spirit rejoices in God my Savior for He has looked with favor on His lowly servant. The Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is His Name…” (Luke 1:46-49). Too frequently we want God to do great things in our lives and in the world, but in the same breath, we do not want to make the sacrifices necessary in order to see those great things . “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains just a grain of wheat; but if it dies, it produces much fruit. Whoever loves his life loses it…” (John 12:24-25). Yes, this is what is being asked of all of us, and indeed it is a very terrifying act of surrender; however, an instrument in the hands of the Divine Author will always produce magnificent works. Let us consecrate ourselves entirely and unreservedly to Our Lady and let Her do with us and all that we possess as She pleases! May we devote our time and ourselves to prayers and acts of penance for the love of God and the conversion of sinners.
