The New St. Mary’s is a place to meet Jesus in His Good News and Sacraments, in each other, and in welcoming the seeker. Baptism bonds us together as the Body of Christ. The Sunday breaking of the bread (Lk 24:33M35) nourishes and sustains our spiritual family, transforming us into disciples of witness through acceptance, forgiveness, gratitude, and service to the world. (Acts 2:42M47)
