Church Programs
The Travelling Vocations Chalice: The Vocations Chalice is offered to you as a reminder of your obligation to pray for vocations. It is a prayer tool intended to encourage in the family, prayer of thanks to God for our Priests and Religious, and to ask God to open the hearts of young men and women to listen to His call and answer it. Jesus said in John's Gospel, "You did not choose me, I chose you". Contact person is Mrs. Carol-Anne Rice.

St. Mary's Parish Library: A small library has been developed and is situated in the sacristy of the church. Please feel free to visit, browse and borrow. Book Reviews: 1. "The Shack" by Wm. Paul Young. This is an interesting novel presenting an unusual and different concept of God. Although it is not theological and is only a story it can be uplifting and inspirational. 2. "The Cure D'Ars" by George Wiliam Rutler. In this unique biography Fr. Rutler does more than give the facts about life of St. Jean Vianney. A fascinating book that captures the spirit of the age and unveils the sanctity of a humble parish priest.
