Welcome to St. Mary's website! We are so glad you found us and hope that you will come visit us in person. You may have noticed that we do not have a mission statement anywhere on our website. The reason for this is simple, we believe in living out our mission by preaching the Good News of Christ through our life and actions and not by a few pithy words that lose their meaning when not acted upon. St. Mary's serves all persons with the same dedication that we would show to Jesus Himself. As our Lord has told us, "Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me." (Matthew 25:40). This is manifested in our involvement in the community and our outreach to those in need. We are also here to serve as a place of worship and peace in the midst of our hectic world. St. Mary's is committed to providing a meaningful worship experience that is centered on Holy Eucharist. Our parish has a rich history and a bright future. If you are looking for a renewed sense of God’s presence in your life, St. Mary's just might be the right place for you. If you have any questions please call or e-mail us. Hope to see you in church!

Peace and Blessings,

Fr. John+

We Welcome Visitors!

If you decide to stop by and visit St. Mary's, please make yourself known to Father John and fill out a Visitor's Card which can be found in the pew racks inside the church. You can give the card to an usher or place it in the collection plate. If you are unfamiliar with an Episcopal Service, please note the following:

Our service of worship comes from the Book of Common Prayer. The hymns are from the Hymnal 1982.

It is the tradition in this parish church to kneel for prayer, to stand for the Creed, the reading of the Gospel, and the singing of the hymns, and to sit and listen as God's Word is proclaimed.

All Baptized Christians are welcome to receive Holy Communion. In the Episcopal Church, we receive both the bread and wine while kneeling at the altar rail. Those persons not wishing to receive Communion are invited to come forward, and fold their arms over their chest to receive a blessing.
