the accord of souls,the bond of charity, the prayers of the priests."
 
-St. John Chrysostom

  

Mission Statement
     Old St. Mary's Parish is a Catholic faith community serving the downtown area, the business community, and those living in the region who are attracted to our community of faith. 
 
     Empowered by the Eucharist and other Sacraments of the Church, we exist to give glory to God   through worship,   sharing  
the good news, having special devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and reaching out to serve those  poor in spirit and in resources.  The later applies in a special way to our twin-parish, St. Michael's in Kijungru, Tanzania, East Africa
