On Sunday, May 19, St. Mary’s Parish unveiled a brand-new mission statement. Parishioners can find the new mission statement on the cover of the bulletin and at the doors of the church (look for the cards with a picture of the Our Lady of the Assumption statue).

The new mission statement reads:

“We the Roman Catholic community of St. Mary’s, united in the Eucharist and under the guidance of St. Mary of the Assumption, strengthen our faith by praising God, proclaiming His word, sharing His love with all people and serving those in need.” St. Mary: Pray for Us!
