Friends, please watch and share my most recent video with your family and friends.  

In light of the recent scandals, I know many people are wondering whether they should remain in the Catholic Church. And I totally get that; the outrage is warranted.

But in this time of crisis, I beg you not to flee, but to fight--not violently, with the weapons of the world, but with the weapons of the Spirit. We need you.

We, St. Mary of the Falls, are a spirit-led people who pledge themselves to continued growth as a Eucharistic community centered in Word and Worship.  

We dedicate ourselves to witness and openness to the unknown of God's will, to molding ourselves into a family of God - a parish all can truly call home.  
 

One more day, God's way!

There will be a collection for the CCHD the weekend of November 18/19.  There are over 43 million people in the United States living in poverty.  This collection supports programs to empower local communities to address the challenges they face.  In addition, 25% of funds collected will remain in our diocese to fund local anti-poverty projects.  By supporting this collection, you are giving those on the margins a hand up, not a hand out. 

Please use the envelope provided in your monthly packet or any envelope clearly marked “Campaign for Human Development” and drop in the regular collection basket. 

Please be as generous as you are able.
