Our mission as Christians, our mission as parish is to be Christ's presence on earth. Simply put, we must act, care, and make decisions as Christ would. Considering what Jesus would do or discerning the word of the Lord in our lives affects everything including relationships, employment, vocation and parish. Being a good steward in the ways in which we care for our community around us is essential to our faith development. Living a life of Stewardship is faith applied, reaching into hearts changing our lives and the lives of those we touch.

St Mary Parish is a Stewardship parish. As parish and as individuals we recognize that all that we are and all that we have is a gift from God. We are then, therefore, called to care for our gifts carefully and share them generously and abundantly in service to the Lord.

In the ministries pages, you will find many opportunities to share your gifts with St Mary Parish including gifts of time, gifts of talent and gifts of treasure. Whatever your interest may be there is a place for you to contribute. In addition to offering opportunities for involvement of time and talent, St Mary's offers many opportunities for financial support. Watch your mailbox, your e-mail, the bulletin and the Messenger for periodic information on opportunities to care for St Mary Parish.

Living a Stewardship way of life will bring joy and happiness to your life and touch the hearts of many others.
