Are you new, returning or visiting the parish? 

During the seasons of Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter more people start showing up around the parish.  Some are visiting or maybe returning to the Church.  If that’s you, I wanted to first say welcome!  We are glad you are here to encounter the transforming love of Christ with us.

This is also a good opportunity to share about some options we are utilizing in our liturgies at St. Mary’s and St. Anthony’s.  During the past months I have written some articles on each of these topics in more detail.
