Need a photo taken? A generous parishioner who is also a photographer will be ready after both Masses on June 20/21 — grab a spot on SignUpGenius. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0545A5AC22A7FFC43-64400206-parish

✝️ On June 11, 2026, as part of the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the United States Catholic Council of Bishops (USCCB) will consecrate our nation to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Beginning today, Catholics across the country are invited to join in prayer with a 9-day novena leading up to this special occasion.

Link to the novena: https://www.usccb.org/novena-sacred-heart-jesus

🙏 Together, let us entrust our nation, our families, and our parish to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

We were so blessed to welcome Fr. Akizou Kamina from Cross Catholic Outreach to St. Mary this weekend. As a special gift, children from our parish presented him with $1000 from the children’s collection fund ($500 at Saturday Mass and $500 on Sunday) to support the mission of Cross Catholic Outreach and help the poorest of the poor around the world.

Thank you Fr. Kamina for sharing with us about the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity and also about the important work being done to serve our brothers and sisters in need around the world.

Tuesday Tidbit: Did you know every member of St. Mary is part of a “Circle” group? You may be wondering what that means exactly. Our parish has five Circles, each with a leader, co-leader, and about 65 parishioners.

Throughout the year, Circles are invited to help with different parish events such as serving cupcakes or pouring coffee at the First Communion reception. Because we have five Circles, your group may only be asked to help once or twice a year, and the time commitment is usually just 1–2 hours.

The purpose of the Circles is simple: to help our parish run smoothly while giving everyone a chance to be involved, connect, and grow together as the family of God. When you receive a call or email from your Circle leader, we hope you’ll feel inspired to serve one another and make new friends in faith!
