Choice Wine Marriage Ministry
We are super excited to launch The Choice Wine Program on February 19th for engaged and married couples and journey with all of you in celebrating the sacrament of marriage and discover ways in which we can all work towards having a SUPERABUNDANT Marriage – which is what God wants for all of us! Life is short – let’s live with purpose and joy!
The registration portal is now open for our parish. Please take a minute to register for the program by using the link https://paradisusdei.org. Once on the website, go to “Find a Group/Register for a Class” and type in our parish (be care there are several St. Mary’s around the country). Make certain to register for Choice Wine – only one person per couple needs to register for both.
You are welcome to invite friends – share this email! You do NOT have to be a parishioner to attend. Since we begin with a “happy ½ hour” consider bringing an appetizer to share – St. Mary’s will provide, wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages too!
The schedule is:
February 19th
We will gather the 3rd Saturday of every month at St. Mary’s Parish Life Center

From Our Pastor
Dear Folks,
January O January. Cold, snow, and long days. For those who don’t love skiing, it helps to have something to look forward to. Thus, I am happy to announce a parish pilgrimage to Ireland for May 22nd to June 3rd!
Did you know that I am one eighth Irish? Probably not. But one of my great-grandmother’s was an immigrant to South Carolina from County Meath in Ireland. If I can figure out where in Ireland she was from, I may have to make it a stop on our trip!
The trail has been organized by Margaret Ford: a parishioner, travel agent, and native daughter of Ireland. This way we will get to see the Emerald Isle with someone who knows and loves her motherland! She has put together a great itinerary, with Mass every day and a good bit of adventure. Please see the announcement on this page!
Pax et bonum,
Father John Mosimann
