| FEATURED LINK: 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. |
