When people hear the word "Catholic", the first thing that pops into their minds is a

church building. Others think of important moral issues on which the Church takes a

firm and generally unpopular position. For many, both Catholics and Non-Catholics

alike, the Catholic Church is seen as primarily an institution. The reality of the Church is far deeper and more intriguing. Come join us for the fall 2026 adult education series,

"What We Believe." We will outline who we are as Catholics, what we believe, and

how we live. This course will run for 8 consecutive weeks, with two weekly sessions available. There will be a Wednesday morning session, from 10 am to 11:30 am, beginning on Wednesday, September 16, and ending on Wednesday, November 4.

The Tuesday evening session, from 6-7:30pm, will begin on Tuesday, September 22, and ending on Tuesday, November 10. For the Tuesday night sessions only, you will

need to preregister by contacting the parish office. Come and join us for a journey into the heart of God in the company of a family that Jesus Christ called the Church.

First, I’d like to thank our volunteers for organizing last week’s

Grandparents Day Breakfast and all our grandparents who were

able to attend with us! We are grateful for all the love, prayers, and

support that we receive from our school grandparents – and I

know our parents appreciate the support just as much as our

students do! A special thank you goes to our grandparent

volunteers from recent years, including those who come to help

with small group classroom instruction, those who help out in the

cafeteria, and those who have made our school front windows

beautiful with the new planters and flowers.

Please note that our annual Fall Mums Fundraiser will end this

Friday, Sept. 25, with a pickup taking place from Brenner Hall on

Thursday, Oct. 1 during afternoon dismissal. Please contact the

school office if you’d like an order form. These are always

beautiful flowers that could be a beautiful decoration for your

front porch this fall!

The parish is providing an opportunity to meet other men and cultivate our St.

Mary’s community. All men are invited to gather for some fun and fellowship on

Dinner and snacks are provided. Bring your own drinks. Contact the Parish Office

This is a time for men to grow together in their knowledge and love of God. Come

to a session and experience the faith of other like minded men who want to be

leaders of the Catholic Faith in our families and our church. There are sessions every

Thursday in the Seton room from 7 to 8 pm or every Saturday in the Parish Hall

from 6:30 to 8 am.

This week’s topic is “The Earliest Church.” Jesus invites you into his mission. There

is no Church without the Holy Spirit. Contact the Parish Office for more

information.

We are working on the installation of lights in the front of the church to brighten the front steps on darker months as well illuminate the facade of the church.  This process takes time and patience because we are working both with the city and our volunteer, Joe Lawler, to get them installed properly and to code. 

In additon, we have repaired the back steps leading to the sacristy. 

We have also removed several trees in the back parking lot as well as in the front.
