Parish Mission Statement

Last Saturday after the 4:30 Mass we had our annual Blessing of the Outdoor Nativity.   We hope you'll join us for this tradition that started 16 years ago.   In the Fall of 2003, Fr. Dennis O'Brien came up with the idea for the outdoor nativity and coordinated purchasing the set and building the stable.   Through generous donations from several parishioners, it didn't take long for our nativity set to be complete!  Each statue was purchased by individuals or families in memory of a loved one.   

We extend our thanks to Yli & Marilyn Vallejo for coordinating our third SIMBANG GABI Mass at St. Mary's last Saturday afternoon. This Filipino Christmas tradition celebrates the nine days of waiting for the coming of Christmas with the "Misa de Gallo"- Mass of the Rooster each morning at 4:00 am. Thank you to our Filipino parishioners and their friends who provided the music and prepared and cooked for the reception following the Mass.   Below are a few photos.
