Our mission
St. Mary's is a community of believers dedicated to the living worship of God. As the only Catholic Church in Limestone County, our faith community reflects the ethnic diversity of the towns in which we live. We gather to fulfill our mission as disciples of Jesus Christ: we hear His Word, we celebrate the Sacraments and we witness His love to others. Our Christian witness consists of sharing our spiritual gifts with the grace of God and the example and prayers of our patron saint, the Immaculate Conception, among us and with others - striving to grow in Holiness.

Notice – Sunday Mass Changes
In order to allow more people to safely attend our Sunday Masses while maintaining social distancing requirements, we are making the following changes beginning the weekend of July 18-19:
· We will continue to celebrate a Vigil Mass in Spanish in the church on Saturday, July 18, at 7:00 pm. However, this Mass will not be broadcast on Facebook.· The 8:00 am Mass on Sunday morning, July 19, will be celebrated in English in the church as usual.
· The 10:00 am Mass on Sunday morning, July 19, will be celebrated in English in the Parish Hall only and will be broadcast on Facebook.
· The 12:00 pm Mass on Sunday morning, July 19, will be celebrated in Spanish in the Parish Hall only and will be broadcast on Facebook.
Please note that going forward, a face mask is required to be worn at all Masses. If you do not have a face mask, we will have some available for you to wear. And, as we have been doing for some time, the place of Mass will be disinfected after each use.
As always, if you have a pre-existing condition or are of age making you at high health risk to the COVID-19 virus, you are excused from attending Mass in person but you are strongly encouraged to attend Mass virtually via video. We are obligated to observe the 3rd commandment – Keep Holy the Lord’s Day. We strongly encourage you to contact other parishioners and invite them to join you in the Mass either in person or online – perhaps hold a watch party with your friends.
