Our parish keeps growing. Each week the bulletin publishes the names of new parishioners. If you are new to Old St. Mary’s or a longtime member of our community, why not become active in one of our ministries? Below is a list of ministries and the contact information.
Please note: Ministries marked with an asterisk (*) require special training. Those marked with a double asterisk (**) require completion of the Archdiocesan requirements overseen by the Office of Protection of Children and Youth. Those marked with a triple asterisk (***) require both special training related to the ministry itself as well as that required by the Archdiocese to work with children and youth.
