St. Mary

One of the hallmarks of Franciscan spirituality is to extend welcome to all. On behalf of Father Kevin, Franciscan TOR and Pastor of Saint Mary's, and the members of the parish, we extend this heartfelt invitation to all who join us: No matter what your present or past status in the Catholic Church; no matter what your current family or marital situation; no matter what your past or present religious affiliation; no matter what your personal history, age, background, race, or color, you are invited, welcomed, accepted and loved here at Saint Mary's Church. In the words of Saint Francis Assisi, “May the Lord give you peace.” - Fr. Kevin, T.O.R., Deacon Jim, and Parish Staff
