Dear St. Mary’s Parishioners,

I hope this update finds you well. Just a few items to share with you:

This Weekend is Mission Co-Op Weekend: Each year, our diocese assigns each parish a visiting priest or religious from another diocese to speak about their particular Mission and the needs in their diocese. This weekend, we welcome Fr. Chukwueneka who will celebrate Saturday Confession and all Weekend Masses. He will be speaking about the needs in Tanzania especially regarding Evangelization and Vocation Training. A collection will be taken at each Mass. Please be as generous as you can. If you are making out a check, please make it payable to St. Mary’s Church with Mission Co-Op in the memo line. Thank you



Weekend Mass and Saturday Confession continues at Bay Path University, Carr Hall. Sincere thanks to all those parishioners and friends of the parish who are attending Mass with us at Bay Path University. Your physical and financial support of our parish family is critically important during these months of renovations.

If you did not donate to our church renovations, you are still most welcome to do so. All donations are gladly accepted as we accomplish these needed renovations of our beautiful church. Online donation can be made using this link 2026 Church Renovations, checks can be made payable to St Mary’s Parish with 2026 Church Renovation noted in the memo line. Again, thank you for supporting this much needed project in our parish church. The completion date is scheduled currently for mid-August.

Calendar Change: Monday July 20^th there will be a 7am Communion Service only and 6:30pm Novena Mass. Both will take place in the Parish Center.

St. Mary’s Family Life invites you to Summer on the Lawn: Thank you to all families who joined us on the Lawn last Saturday. It was a beautiful evening and lots of fun! Next Gathering is July 25^th, 5-9pm on the lawn next to the Parish Center. Bring a blanket, chairs, and a picnic for your family. We will supply the drinks and snacks. Outdoor games, water play, and fellowship. We will also show an outdoor movie- July 25^th is “Paddington”. Looking forward to seeing you there!

A Few More Volunteers Needed: We are looking for a team of 5 people to help deep clean the Sacristy once the church renovation is complete. If you are able to help, please reach out to the parish office- thank you!

Your friend and pastor,

Fr. CJ
