St. Mary's Spiritual Life Commission

"Who are the people of this branch of the Parish Council? They are the volunteers who direct and work alongside the "elves" that set up the twinkling lights of the Christmas decorations, the "angels" who make ready for the solemnities of Easter, and the greeters who offer friendly welcome during the special masses. It is the responsibility of the Spiritual Life Commission to ensure that all aspects of the liturgical life of our parish are running smoothly and to create and promote events that will enrich the spiritual life of our community."
