St. Mary Catholic Church

Mission Statement

“We, in St. Mary Faith Community, invite all to journey with us -

in faith, unity and love of Christ while striving to grow spiritually

through prayers, forgiveness and a desire to do God’s will.”

Our Lady of Prompt Succor, ever Virgin Mother of Jesus Christ our Lord and God, you are most powerful against the enemy of our salvation. The

divine promise of a Redeemer was announced right after the sin of our first parents; and you, through your Divine Son, crushed the serpent’s head.

Hasten, then, to our help and deliver us from the deceits of Satan. Intercede for us with Jesus that we may always accept God’s graces and be found

faithful to Him in our particular states of life. As you once saved our beloved city from ravaging flames and our country from an invading army, have pity on us and obtain for us protection from hurricanes and all other disasters.

(Silent pause for individual petitions.) Assist us in the many trials which beset our path through life. Watch over the Church and the Pope as they uphold with total fidelity the purity of faith and morals against unremitting

opposition. Be to us truly Our Lady of Prompt Succor now and especially at the hour of our death, that we may gain everlasting life through the merits of

Jesus Christ who lives and reigns with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end.

Amen.

We will still sing once a month at the 11:00 mass. We may have some additional performances throughout the year for some special events. Our practices will now be on Tuesday evenings from 5:15-6:15. When we are preparing for special events we may extend the practice time. Once a child reaches the age of 15 they are welcome to sing with our Lifeteen music ministry or our Sunday morning adult choirs. I am so blessed by the beautiful singers that we have and very happy that they desire to continue to share their special gifts with our parish.
