Local parishes will join together in continuous prayer from September through October as a silent beacon of hope for the protection of the precious life of the unborn. St Mary Church will be outside the Planned Parenthood building on October 20th during this annual 40-day long prayer for life. Contact Rose Arceri for more information.

Beginning in October for all families with children in grades 1-8, we will be meeting once a month online (October through April) for a one hour family program (parents and children) that focuses on 7 different parables of Jesus and how we can live out His important messages in our daily lives.  Please register if you have not done so already! See the Faith Formation page for more details and to access forms.
