St. Mary’s is called to be a prayerful, compassionate community centered in Jesus Christ. As witnesses to Christ’s love, we are committed to accept and value each person. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we serve one another as members of the family of God.

Before our first-ever Stewardship of Treasure drive last year, our income (which is derived almost entirely from donations made by parishioners) had not been keeping up with inflation and the increased cost of doing ministry.

Moving forward, we will continue to hold a Stewardship of Treasure weekend in October of each year, during which we ask that you prayerfully consider whether any adjustments can be made to your offertory gift to the parish. In doing so, we hope that our income can keep pace with the changing financial needs of the parish and its ministries.

Please watch the mail this week for a brochure detailing our 2019-2020 Stewardship of Treasure drive, and bring the enclosed commitment card with you to Mass next weekend, October 19 and 20.
