St. Mary's has come a long way in its 100 plus years in existence! It has grown from a small country parish to a thriving suburban parish—close to the largest in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. Throughout the years, people of faith have not only drawn spiritual nourishment but have invested themselves to contribute to that growth. That's why this handbook is so important to its present day existence. It is a call to all parishioners to continue celebrating their faith in this setting—certainly in worship, but also by bringing their gifts to keep this growth going.

Please look at the many ways in which we promote the well being of parishioners but also consider contributing some of your time and talent to build up the body of Christ right here in our area. We have a new system for tracking people who sign up for this and promise you will be contacted in a timely fashion.

Our mission statement reflects the purpose for our existence: Celebrating spiritual growth centered in Christ through word, sacrament, and service. Come join the many who are actively engaged in furthering the mission by signing up today. We need you, and believe that YOU will find a deeper sense of meaning for your life!

- Fr. Chuck and Staff

‘For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me.’

Then the righteous will answer him and say, ‘Lord when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you a drink? When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?’

And the king will say to them in reply. ‘Amen, I say to you, what ever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.’


- Matthew 25: 35-40
