Saint Mary's Weekly News 


Our summer schedule goes into effect on June 19 

 From June 19 through September 4, our Sunday gatherings will be: 

  • 8:00 AM: Contemplative Eucharist 
  • 9:30 AM: Choral Eucharist with hymns  

Weekday Prayers for Ukraine and for Peace:  Compass of Compassion 

  In a response to many people voicing their anguish during these turbulent times, we are offering a daily reflection of comfort. We will be emailing a poem, scripture, or inspiration to help lighten your sorrow, and for those who seek a direction and compass for your prayers. Please know that you are not alone. People without email may pick up a weekly copy of the offerings from the parish office.  

  These emails will come automatically for a week, but you must let the parish office (admin@smary.org or 781-3366) know if you wish to continue to receive these messages of hope, by simply replying YES to the email or contacting the office.   

Mass on the Grass:  Wednesdays at 6pm  

Starting Wednesday, June 29th, our midweek summer evening service will begin!  Informal, inspirational, spiritual, and intimate.   

Still outdoors,  still casual, and still with the Holy Eucharist.  It will start at 6pm and last about 30 mins.   

We'll meet in the Saint Mary's Gardens.   If you can bring a lawn chair with you, that's terrific; if not, a blanket will work just as well.
