Welcome to St. Mary Church! I am happy that you are here. Whether you are joining our parish family or searching for a new parish to call home, I welcome you. As St. Mary Church moves forward united with the former Good Shepherd Church, our parish family will undergo a change and I believe in a good way. We are Beginning a Journey Anew! All of us working together as brothers and sisters in Christ, can only strengthen his presence here on earth. As we continue to live out the Gospel message, let us continually pray for one another and come to know and understand each another. Together we can bring the saving message of Jesus Christ to those who do not know him or have never had the opportunity to know him.
You may be new to our parish due to the recent renewal efforts in the Blackstone Valley and are seeking more information about our parish, the life of the parish, and the people in our parish family. This Beginning a Journey Anew page serves as a focal point for those of you who are seeking information about the parish. MORE...
Yours in Christ,
