We Need Your Talents!
Under the leadership of the Pastoral Council, St. Mary's Parish will be preparing a Long-range Strategic Plan which Father Kingsbury plans to have in place in early 2011. The Steering Committee is seeking parishioners interested in working on the various sub-committees such Spirituality, Community, Communication, and Education, among others. We hope to have the sub-committees give a report of their assessments later this year. Those who are interested should contact Mike Mulhern at mkmulhern@yahoo.com or 410-507-9862.
