As Christians, we are all called to imitate Christ, proclaiming the Gospel with words and actions so that the world may come to know and love Christ.
St. Mary Immaculate Parish is vital to leading our community to know Him, love Him, and serve Him. Your commitment to the mission, ministries, and service programs of our parish allows us to build up the Kingdom of God in our community.
I pray that the Lord continues to guide us and fill us with His grace and love, that we may be transformed in Him as He makes all things new.
Yours in Christ,
Father John Horan
