| Every parishioner at St. Mary’s is on a journey - a faith journey where Jesus is by their side. In 2005, our parish began Walk With Christ — a day & a half retreat experience where we hear prepared talks from adults in our parish, reflect time, grow in faith, & have fun. After the annual retreat weekends, participants meet on the last Wed of the month to reflect, pray & socialize together. All are welcome to join us. Sign up for the WWC retreats held during Lent 2010. If you can’t attend the involvement fair, registration forms available on our church bulletin board & parish website. |
| Generations of Faith is always looking for activity leaders, kitchen help, greeters, and song leaders. Being an activity leader is a wonderful way to live out your baptismal call to spread the gospel and be a leader in your church community. Activity leaders typically commit to helping lead our two Generations sessions each month. Your commitment can be as short as helping lead for 2 months or as many as 8. If you have any questions contact Eric Stromberg #352-2493 or SMC.GOF@Q.com. You are also welcome to talk to him at the Generations of Faith booth at the upcoming Involvement Fair. |
