St Mary Parish- Paroquia de Santa Maria, Hamilton
"My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord!"
Welcome to Saint Mary's Parish
Message from the Pastor: Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, it is with joy that we present to you the new website for St. Mary’s Parish. This website will serve as our virtual home; you are welcome to visit us whenever you wish. I desire to be part of your lives, just as I hope you will be part of the life of our parish. This website acts as a door that never closes—one that invites everyone to enter and become part of our community family. Here, we will share news and key events from our community life, such as the schedules for liturgical celebrations. I wish to draw ever closer to each of you, building a vibrant and active community. You will also be able to view the bulletins we publish weekly. While I wish to be close to each of you, I also want to help all visitors to our virtual space experience a spiritual life that allows them to understand the Church's mission and the dynamics of the world. The Church’s mission is to use every available means to spread the "Good News" further, challenging us to live according to Gospel values. Here, we can share experiences and live in communion—even amidst differing opinions—while always keeping our hearts and minds open to welcoming others. Through this site, we aim to bridge the distance and overcome the isolation felt by so many brothers and sisters who cannot come to our common home, the parish church. Our joy is greatest when we are together. Fr. Luís Inácio
