FALL KICK-OFF WEEKEND
The Best Weekend of the Year!
On the weekend of September 16-17, 2023, our parish will celebrate our annual “Kick-Off” weekend. Kick-Off is meant to be just that: a celebration of a new year. We’ve found that most families, especially if kids are involved, plan their year from September. So, we go out of our way to make this weekend ) a special one.
This year, there is a lot to celebrate. We’ll be starting a new season: new music, new message series, new faith life programs and new small group opportunities.
Food & Fun
You may have heard the buzz. It’s true: After each Mass (Saturday 4:00pm / Sunday 8am, 10am and 12pm), we will be serving fun treats! Bring your family to church and grab some food after– it’s that easy.
And That’s Not All!
On both days we’ll celebrate Kick-Off with information tables outside the church where you can learn more about our Ministry programs and just hang out and meet other members of our parish family.
So join us for the biggest weekend of the year! See you there!
Bring a friend to Mass and to our Open House!
Our Open House is also scheduled during the Kick-off weekend. We will be reaching out to those in our area and inviting them to come learn what we are all about! Let’s welcome our guests with OPEN ARMS and extend the love of Christ to all who join us at the OPEN HOUSE this weekend and in the weeks ahead.
NEW HOMILY SERIES AND
SMALL GROUPS KICK-OFF
Our identity, or at least who we think we are, forms the foundation of our choices and decisions, fuels our confidence and sense of purpose and determines nearly every aspect of our lives.
This series, kicking off our fall season, will explore our sense of identity and the more solid foundation we can find, beyond money, cars, schools, sports and kids, in a life lived according to what God’s word says about who we are.
Small Group sessions follow-up and go deeper on the STEPS introduced in the homily series. Learn more about St Mary’s Small Groups here.
NEW FAITH LIFE OPPORTUNITIES
FOR YOUNG AND OLD
All our amazing programs for kids, teens and adults will be back for Kick-Off weekend.
VISIT THE WELCOME CENTER
This year, we are stepping up our hospitality game by continuing the Welcome Center and Info Center . The Welcome Center is designed expressly for first-time visitors who want to learn more about St Mary’s or for our current members who are seeking information or would like to schedule a Mass intention or conduct other business while on the parish grounds (all while just going to Mass). Feel free to ask questions and seek assistance. Our Welcome Center ministers, will also be able to provide detailed information about our programs,
The Welcome Center is located in the former Family Room on the ramp side of the church.
