Faithful Citizenship
This website is presented by the
U.S. Conference of Catholic
Bishops, and deals with making
choices at election time from a
Catholic perspective.
As the summer comes to a close, the activities in our parish are back in full swing.  Check our Monthly Calendar
and our
Bulletin Board to keep up on all that is happening.

We are planning a page on our website dedicated to our parish history.  We hop to include a brief history of our
church and school, photos, and perhaps even some St. Mary's trivia questions.  Do you have a photo or some
other St. Mary's "artifact" that you would be willing to share?  E-mail me at
webmaster@maryhoc.org.  I hope
to have this page up by September 1.
