Here you will find news from our Pastoral and Finance Councils.

Please note that St. Mary Pastoral Council Meetings are open to parishioners. They are held on the second Wednesday of every month at 5 pm in the Parish Office Conference Room at St. Mary.

The St. Mary Finance Council meets on the Fourth Wednesday of every month at 5 pm in the Parish Office Conference Room at St. Mary.

These Committees are represented on the Parish Council, perhaps one of these areas interests you. We encourage you to get involved!

“The Evangelization Committee exists to serve our God, Pastor, Deacon, and congregation by

being one of the welcoming arms of the church by demonstrating hospitality to visiting guests,

our newest members and all members of the Body. The committee, by welcoming, greeting,

planning, staffing and implementing social events, embraces the common goal of a community

united in the life of the church.”

“Worship is an act of God, that requires our full cooperation, to offer sacrifice to Him. Worship is

most perfectly surmised in the sacrifice of the Mass. The duty of the Worship Committee is to

work toward a perfect expression of faith through the sacraments. Our active ministry is

represented by servers, lectors, ushers, sacristans, the altar society, and the music program.

Our work, ever turned to Christ and his Blessed Mother, brings honor to the living and true

Eucharistic God through our service.”

“Everything we have and everything we are is a gift from God. We should be grateful and

generous with those gifts - sharing our time, talent, and treasure to grow God’s kingdom here on

earth. The Stewardship Committee will encourage parishioners to be grateful, prayerful servants

of the Church and to share generously of their time, talent, and treasure.”

“The Living Justice Committee will serve the needs of the parish and the community by raising

awareness about issues of justice and human dignity and applying the wisdom of the Church to

these issues. The USCCB states: “The Catholic Church proclaims that human life is sacred and

the dignity of the human person is the foundation of a moral vision for society. This belief is the

foundation of all the principles of our social teaching.” By sharing our faith in Jesus Christ and

the principles of Catholic social teaching, we will strive to inspire people to respect life from

conception to natural death, to visit our shut-ins, and to assist those in financial need in our

community. Through education, advocacy, collaboration, and communication, we will work to

address the issues that contribute to injustice in our society and to be a voice for those who

cannot advocate for themselves.”

“The Education Committee serves/educates adults and children in the Catholic Faith through

our Faith Formation programs, support of the SMCS system, and many adult faith formation

opportunities. We are called to strengthen our faith journey through open communication to

support the efforts of these ministries. We will strive to meet everyone wherever they are on

their faith journey and facilitate deeper learning about our Catholic faith through our programs

and studies.”
