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.

important Church events
To our Paritioners:These are trying times as the world deals with the containment of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Unfortunately, in order to reduce the chance of spreading the disease, on Tuesday, March 17 all public Masses in the Diocese of Austin were suspended on March 17. Click here to read the letter and decree from Bishop Vásquez.
St Mary's Church will continue to be open for your private prayer visits, but we will not be holding daily or Sunday Masses until further notice. All CCE classes are also suspended for now.
Fr. Pius will continue to accept appointments for a private celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation (confessions). Please contact the church office or call Fr. Pius directly to establish an appointment.
We are working on setting up a live stream of private Masses conducted by Fr. Pius. Once we have this setup, we will inform you of how to access the video. In the meantime, we have posted a link to a video of the daily Mass offered by the Word on Fire ministries. You can find the video link in the right-hand column below the "Mass Times" block.
Please pray for a rapid defeat of this new challenge. Your prayer is a powerful weapon against this evil.
Events below are ON HOLD for the time being.
