Many thanks to our Gardening Ministry leaders, Mike Monnat, Joel Yacono, and Mike Sisto, along with their team of 11 volunteers who planted most of our gardens on our June 6 Day of Service. Mike, Joel, and Mike are the backbone of the design, planting, and maintenance of our beautiful St. Mary's gardens. Now, their Garden Ministers will help them throughout the summer to keep our flowers/plants watered, nourished, and weeded. Here are some photos of our initial plantings. We will report back as they grow lush and colorful.
PS: we would love to have more volunteers at next year's Day of Service!

From Bishop Robert Barron's Gospel Reflection on Tuesday, May 26, 2026: "St. Augustine was right: “Lord, you have made us for yourself, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.” We are all wired for God. There is a hunger in us that nothing in this world can possibly satisfy. Only Jesus can lead us to the heavenly banquet; and that’s why we must follow him."

Two of our First Communicants, dressed in their beautiful finery, worked together to crown the Blessed Virgin Mary. Communicants and parishioners also placed flowers beneath the statue of Mary.

Teens from St. Mary's joined in the diocesan youth rally yesterday at Hilbert College. They enjoyed an inspiring witness from nationally-known speaker Tony Melendez about overcoming challenges, trusting God, and following His plan...No Experience Necessary! We are proud of them for asking questions, joining in activities, and sharing their faith with peers from around the diocese!
