The 2026 St. Mary’s Parish Mission: Saints was a well-attended event, and a wonderful an opportunity for parishioners and members of the community to reconnect with God and re-energize their faith life. We learned about suffering, faith, spirituality, prayer, and more through the lives of St. John Paul II, St. John Henry Newman, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Pier Giorgio Frassati, and St. Francis de Sales.
Thank you to everyone who attended the event, and a special thank you to everyone who volunteered to make this event possible.
