Services will resume at St. Mary’s this Sunday, letting us enter Ordinary Time just a little more ordinary. We will be maintaining our Zoom webcast to maintain our support for our distant members and those who choose to attend virtually.

Download the service leaflet here. Note that you will need to print or digitally view the leaflet; no printed copies will be available at the service.

Connect to the Zoom service here.

Please note: Even with appropriate safeguards, an increased risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any social gathering or public place where other people are present. By attending services in person, you voluntarily assume all risks and personal responsibility for any related illness or other complications. We strongly urge parishioners in the CDC high risk category to continue to attend services virtually.

Our required Reopening Protocol form may be viewed here.
