Discipleship Home
At St. Mary's Church, our mission is to follow the Way of the Lord Jesus as faithful disciples. We invite each man, woman, and child in our parish to begin the transformation from Church member by convention to Christian disciple by conviction. All genuine, Catholic reformation always begins here: personal conversion to the Lord Jesus and fidelity to His Gospel.
We seek to shape every area of life at St. Mary's according to the principles of the New Evangelization and a New Catholic Reformation. Our goal is breathtaking in scope: to reform the Church and renew the world by helping every human person surrender his or her life without reservation to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. On first hearing, such a project may sound absurd, but this is none other than the Great Commission given by Christ to His Church, and we each have our part to play in this great drama of the true story of mankind.
A New Catholic Reformation must start with a conscious choice by each of us to see and understand the world from the point of view of the Gospel, rather than seeing the Gospel according to the point of view of the world (The world here understood as that part of creation in rebellion against the Creator).
With Jesus Christ and the sacraments of His Church as our center, our goal is to encourage every parishoner of St. Mary's to enter a path of following Jesus through serious discipleship formation, spiritual growth, and Christian community. Please avail yourselves of the resources in this section.
