ABOUT US
Welcome, Live, Share, Serve
We aim to be a church, that people
who don’t like church, like
OUR VISION
St. Mary’s is a parish that welcomes, lives and inspires faith and serves others
OUR MISSION
As disciples of Jesus Christ, our purpose is to:
• Welcome all wherever they are on the journey of faith.
• Live and grow our faith through the joyful and vibrant
worship of God and ongoing spiritual formation.
• Share gifts and talents, to help one another grow in a
relationship with Jesus Christ.
• Serve those in need.
OUR PURPOSE
WORSHIP
We believe in Orthodox Christianity, as taught by the Roman Catholic Church. The Eucharistic celebration is the source and summit of our faith, which we seek to live and serve with the whole of our lives in vibrant and creative ways; in other words, we strive for a “dynamic Orthodoxy.” Excellence in our worship honors God.
SCHEDULE AND DIRECTIONS
FELLOWSHIP
We believe that our Baptism makes us one family in which we learn to love one another as Christ loved us. We strive to build a church culture through Small Groups where people are open and authentic, especially about their need to grow and change. Our community does life together.
SMALL GROUPS
DISCIPLESHIP
We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God. Our preaching and messages aim to break open the relevance of the Bible for our daily lives. Changing and growing into the likeness of Christ is not just greater knowledge of our faith, but doing what God’s Word says. Discipleship ultimately means life-change.
CONNECT
EVANGELIZATION
We believe that Jesus came to seek and save the lost. We heed God’s command to share his name with the world. We look for the opportunity to invite disconnected Catholics to join us. As a church we want insiders to reach outsiders. Our church exists for growth.
INVITE A FRIEND
SERVICE
We believe that the Holy Spirit has prepared works for us to do that will advance the kingdom of Christ. We recognize God’s call on our church to serve both within our parish and also beyond: in our city, our country, and in the world. In the service of the Lord we are challenged to always do more. We accept that challenge.
MINISTRY
"Not all of us can do great things, but we can do small things
with great love” - St Theresa of Calcutta
