St. Mary's has a library in the Tower Room. We recently received a donation of books from the estate of a retired pastor, and are looking for someone to offer assistance in cataloging the library. The only skill required is the ability to type in the names and authors into a library app on a laptop. The work can be done at your leisure, and can be done safely alone in the Tower Room. Once the books are cataloged, St. Mary's parishioners will be able to check out books for their personal reading pleasure.
If you are willing and able to help, please contact Fr. Charles by sending him an email here. Thank you!

Because we are unable to meet in person for our Sunday Reception, we are making every effort to stay connected with a virtual coffee hour after the Sunday worship. Grab a cup of coffee and hop on your computer or phone as we break bread together. Even if you can't stay long, pop in and let us know how you are doing during this time of social distancing. We'd love to hear from you.
Click here (password is STM2020) and someone will be there to welcome you into this virtual gathering.

Do you have an artistic goal? Do you find it rather hard to stay focused during the very stressful time. Won’t you consider joining the St. Mary’s Artists’ working group, via Zoom. We will meet weekly on Tuesday’s at 6:30 PM CST. Come to discuss an ongoing project or proposed project for which you want feed back or encouragement. Please also join us if you are looking for ideas or inspiration.

303 in Exile | Wednesday's @ 6:30 p.m.
This group traditionally meets at Bistro 303 each Wednesday after Evening Prayer for drinks and discussion. There is no official topic or agenda, but the group is known for liturgy geeks and theological chatter -- expect to hear about maniples, monstrances, and papal liturgical straws. During the lockdown we are meeting weekly via Zoom....BYOB.
