Hello Everyone:
The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the highlight of our worship and praise. At the last supper, Jesus says: "Do this in memory of me." Through the mass, we encounter the risen Christ whom we remember as the one who loved us and offered his life as a perfect sacrifice for sinners on the cross.
The Mass, however, requires preparation on the part of the people. To give due diligence to God, much is required in the ways of planning and organizing. We hope that you will get an opportunity at St. Mary to actively participate in the Eucharistic celebration so that we may honor, worship and give glory to almighty God.
It is our hope that the preparation and planning will aid you in the worship of God at mass. If you are interested or know someone who is interested in being a part of the mass in any way, please don't hesitate to let us know so that we can assist you in the great prayer of the Catholic Church.
In Jesus and Mary
