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 – Mass Changes
NEW INFORMATION!
Starting Tuesday, September 1, Daily Mass will move from 12:00 pm to 9:00 am. Daily Mass is said Tuesday through Friday in the Church. On Fridays, Mass will be preceded by an hour of Eucharistic adoration starting at 9:00 am (thus Mass will begin at 10:00 am on Fridays).
Regarding weekend Masses:
· 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 we encourage the use of a face mask 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.
Aviso - Cambios en la Misas del Domingo
Para permitir que más personas asistan de manera segura a nuestras Misas Dominicales mientras se mantienen los requisitos de distanciamiento social, estamos realizando los siguientes cambios a partir del fin de semana del 18 al 19 de Julio:
• Continuaremos celebrando una Misa de Vigilia en Español en la Iglesia el Sábado, 18 de Julio, a las 7:00 pm. Sin embargo, esta Misa no se transmitirá en vivo por Facebook.
• La Misa de las 8:00 a.m. del Domingo,19 de Julio, se celebrará en Inglés en la Iglesia como de costumbre.

Tenga en cuenta que en el futuro, se requiere usar una mascarilla en todas las Misas. Si no tiene una mascarilla, tendremos algunas disponibles para que las use. Y, como hemos estado haciendo durante algún tiempo, hemos estado desinfectando el lugar donde se lleva acabo la Santa Misa de cada uso.
Como siempre, si tiene una afección preexistente o tiene una edad que lo pone en alto riesgo para la salud del virus COVID-19, se le exime de asistir a Misa en persona, pero se le recomienda asistir a Misa virtualmente por video. Estamos obligados a observar el tercer mandamiento: Santificar el Día del Señor. Le recomendamos encarecidamente que se ponga en contacto con otros feligreses e invítelos a unirse a usted en la Misa, ya sea en persona o en línea, tal vez organice una fiesta de observación con sus amigos.
