New Mass Schedule Information: After several years of tracking Sunday Mass attendance,
it became clear that our parish community could be served well by three Masses on Sunday mornings.
It also became clear that the Sunday Evening Mass was only well-attended during the school year.
This decision was made in consultation with the staff, the pastoral council, and the diocese.
Two mailings were sent out to all registered parishioners to publicize this new schedule.
If you are not receiving our parish communications, please contact the church office.
Thank you for attending Mass at St. Mary Parish.  You are always welcome!
