Generations of Faith

The parish is learning about the New Testament books of the Bible this year.  At the January 25 event we focused on the letters of St. Paul.  Helping us to understand the context for these letters and their meaning for us today was the Rev. Dr. Bill Reese.  Dr. Reese is the Chair of the Religious Studies Department at Viterbo University. 

Adults and older teens had a fast and enjoyable hour with Dr. Reese while younger adolescents and children attended separate learning centers on St. Paul and his letters.  About 350 people attended the event, the fourth of six events this year.  The next event will be on Wednesday, January 29.

Church Directory

It's been a few years since we published our last church directory, and many families have experienced changes.  The directories are important ways for the members of St. Mary's to get to know each other - especially our newest members.  Please plan on having your individual or family photograph taken. 

We will be taking photos for the directory in January and February.
