Welcome to Our Website
St. Mary's parish church stands atop a hill, which dominates the surrounding area, as a beacon of light for all those who come to offer their prayer and worship. It represents to all Christ the Light who dwells lovingly in the tabernacle for our salvation. (From Bishop Burke's letter to the parish on it's 125th Anniversary in 1997.)
