St. Mary's welcomes you! Worship with us Sundays: 9am, 11am, 1pm (Spanish)

St. Mary’s is an inner city parish committed to the spiritual growth of its members, to serving the hungry, and providing a safe and enriching place for children and youth. We embrace the diversity of our members and our neighborhood; young and old, black and white, gay and straight, poor and professional, as we share in worship, fellowship, and service to others.

From the Rev. Edwin Johnson…

Patrick, one of our former vestry members, put it best when he said: “St. Mary’s, where you’ll never leave hungry.” If you are hungry for a deeper connection with God, a welcoming faith community, an opportunity to worship with others or even just some new friends, St. Mary’s is a…Continue reading “From the Rev.

Why I Love St Mary’s

testimonials from parishioners and community members

St Mary’s became my home because my kids started coming. They always said “Dad, why don’t you come?” So one Sunday, I came and Father Brian told me about a prayer and meditation group on Tuesday nights. That group changed my life, was a total turning point. I learned to pray, sit still.

When I first came here, they wrapped their arms around me. People talk about racism, but the people in that meditation group were all white. They welcomed me.

I’ve been here when there were hundreds of people, and when there were only a few, and now we’re building back up.

I love to accept people for who they are, not make them into who I want them to be. We all come here to feel the spirit of God.

En parte me gusta que tiene horario flexible para la gente para que venga, y también que tienen los servicios en Español que son muy importantes y que la unidad de la congregación que hay es buena y la misma congregación comparte ideas y se preocupa por lo mejor de los servicios y de todos.

Lidubina

Quiero a la iglesia Sta Maria porque uno puede meditar y pensar y al mismo tiempo, orar por los demás y por uno mismo, y hay muchas actividades que puedes hacer, y especialmente los miembros siempre se preocupan el uno por el otro. Los servicios son muy buenos y la gente se cuidan, son muy unidos.

I love St Mary’s because it’s close to my house, easy to walk, and there was a lot of nice people here when I came.

Sylvia

Me gusta el ambiente y la gente….. I just love the people and the way that everyone gets along, and we all care for each other and look out for each other. Love that! The food is good, too, but that’s not really why. And I love the pastor, he’s a young pastor and he works hard to bring people in.

Lo que más me gusta del ministerio hispano es nuestra diversidad…. Aunque todos hablamos español, somos de diferentes países… Costa Rica, Honduras, Santo Domingo, etc….y siempre tenemos historias que contar que nos hace pensar y reír… Cuando vengas a un servicio a la 1pm, sentirás el amor de Dios en nosotros, al contar y alContinue reading “Ludy”
