ANNOUNCEMENTS

Father Justin's Institution

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attending this past Saturday, where we came together to honor Father Justin. It was truly a joyful occasion, as the Vestry, congregation, and special guests united to witness the Celebration and Renewal of Ministry. Under the gracious guidance of Bishop Lawrence Provenzano, we joyfully celebrated the institution of Reverend Justin Falciani as the 6th rector of our parish. This moment marks not just a new chapter for our community, but a delightful adventure ahead, filled with hope, inspiration, and perhaps a few lighthearted moments along the way!

Consecration Of Outdoor Chapel


We had the honor of witnessing the consecration of our Outdoor Chapel by Bishop Lawrence Provenzano. This remarkable space was brought to life through the dedication and hard work of our very own Eagle Scout, John Hilbert, and his fellow Eagle Scouts, Kevin Smith and Taylor Tureski, to contribute their talents in completing this meaningful project.

Thank You for Attending our Parish Wide Dinner!


We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who joined us for our parish-wide dinner last night; your presence truly invigorates our community spirit. This gathering marks just the beginning of a series of dinners planned throughout the coming month, as we embrace this exciting growth phase together.


At St. Mary’s, we are blessed with a dedicated congregation, and with your continued support, we can ensure a vibrant future for our church in this post-COVID era. While many congregations have faced challenges during and after the pandemic, we stand firmly on the path of positivity and resilience, striving to be a steadfast “Sign of the Kingdom of God.”


We warmly invite you to join us for our next dinner on Thursday, November 7th at 6:30 PM, as we come together to celebrate our community and foster deeper connections.
