United In Gratitude as One Church, let us join together to support this year's Annual Diocesan Appeal. Thanks to the 50 families who have already pledged 63% of the $19,265 goal assigned to St. Mary. If you have misplaced your form, please contact the office.

The worldwide Peter's Pence began as a "pence" (collection of pennies) in ninth-century England, when King Alfred the Great collected monies from English landowners as financial support for the Pope. Pope Pius IX formally instituted the modern Peter's Pence Collection in the 1860's. Special appeals have since been held in many countries on the Sunday closest to June 29, the Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul. The tradition of an annual collection continues today for the charitable works of the Holy Father. Envelopes are in the lobby.

Please pick up your copy of the Server/Lector/Usher/Eucharistic Minister schedule for July, August, & September in the lobby.
