The Human Concerns Commission promotes the word and manifests the love of Jesus Christ by helping those who are in need, following that principle that “whatever you do to the lest of my people, you do unto me.” (Matthew 25:40)
The Ministries of St. Mary
St. Mary Parish has more than 60 ministries that support the work and life of the community. All the ministries of our parish fall under four parishioner-led Commissions with staff liaison support. We invite you to browse through the ministries detailed below and prayerful consider the ways you would like to be involved in the life of our parish. We welcome you to join us in faithful stewardship, giving back to the community with the gift of time, talent and treasure.
Share your gifts for the life of the community. As you consider the various ways you can be involved in the life of our parish, we hope you will see this as an invitation to faithful stewardship. While the focus of a steward is sharing his/her gifts with others, there is a wonderful benefit of inner peace and grace that every good steward experiences. Our commitment to good stewardship is a witness to what we value, not leaving our support of parish ministries and services to chance. May we continue to pray, work and serve together to build up the body of Christ and further the reign of God.
