On Thursday at 1:00 p.m., St. Mary's will toll our tower bells for seven minutes in solidarity with those who are in pain following the devastating fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, the exact same time that other
churches of the Anglican Communion
will ring their bells.

Fr. Charles and the Vestry invite all members of St. Mary's to share their ideas, hopes, and concerns at one of four listening sessions hosted in parishioners' homes.
- What do you value most at St. Mary's? This could include details about worship, music, adult formation, outreach, etc.
- In what areas do we need to improve?
- What sort of changes would you not want to see?
- Our average Sunday attendance (ASA) increased from 60 in 2017 to 79 in 2018, a 32% increase. Where do you envision our ASA in 3 years? 5 years? What do we need to do to get there?
- Imagine St. Mary's Church 5 years from now, when worship, music, adult formation, outreach, etc. is just the way you want it do be, what would that look like to you?
Your feedback is very important. Please sign up for one of the sessions by clicking
