Saint Mary's Weekly News
Our summer schedule is in effect
From June 19 through September 4, our Sunday gatherings will be:
- 8:00 AM: Contemplative Eucharist
- 9:30 AM: Choral Eucharist with hymns
Mass on the Grass: Wednesdays at 6pm
Still outdoors, still casual, and still with the Holy Eucharist. It will start at 6 pm 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.
