Become A Catholic
If you’re curious about the Catholic faith or if you’ve thought about becoming a Catholic, our Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) program is just for you. Adults from all faith traditions, or no religious background at all, are welcome to participate in our program. Want to find out more? Please contact Sandy Reider, 781–1216 and visit the sacramental preparations section of our website here.
Contact The Clergy In The Event Of Emergency
During normal business hours, you may contact members of the clergy by calling the parish office at 781-1019. In the event of a pastoral emergency occurring when the parish office is closed, please call 788-8000 to page a priest.
Place An Announcement In The Bulletin:
If you would like to place an announcement in the church bulletin, please send information to the parish office no later than Monday at 10 AM the week that the announcement should run. You may also e-mail your request to ampfoutz@gmail.com. All announcements are subject to approval and space availability.
Request A Mass Intention:
If you wish to honor a loved one during the celebration of Mass, please contact the church office at 781-1019. Requests are taken only during specific times of the year, and we are unable to accept requests for multiple years at one time. (The mass intention book for this year is currently full.)
Bring Up The Gifts During Mass:
If you and your family or friends would like to bring up the offertory gifts during the liturgy, please see an usher before Mass.
Make An Appointment With The Pastor
The pastor keeps his own schedule of appointments. Simply call 781-1019 with a brief description of what you would like to discuss, and our pastor will be able to make arrangements to meet with you.
Volunteer In The Parish:
It is important to share your God-given gifts and talents with your parish family. If you want to know more about what is available at St. Marys Church, visit our Parish Ministries section of the website or call the Parish Office at 781-1019.
Reconnect With The Catholic Church:
It happens to many Catholics at some point in their lives, unfortunately; some practising Catholics begin drifting away from the Church. For some it’s after college when they’re busy and focused on their careers, for others it’s a divorce, and still others feel they’ve been hurt by the Church. Whatever the reason, it is never too late to return to the Catholic faith. Your first step is to call the St. Mary’s Parish Office for an informal, confidential, and strictly non-judgmental conversation. You might be surprised at how easy it is, and how much better you’ll feel. No matter the reason, you are welcome to explore the ways you might return to a life full of the beauty, mystery, personal relationships with Christ, and sacraments of the Church. If you have questions about the Church and would feel more comfortable contacting us anonymously through email, you are welcome to send your thoughts to askthechurch@gmail.com. Again, all inquiries will be kept in the strictest confidence.
