Honoring the Ministry of Mary, as Peacemaker

     Welcome to Santa Maria de la Paz, a Catholic faith community that serves many and welcomes all. We are a parish that has been blessed with a history of outstanding parishioner commitment, investment and involvement. It’s our spiritual home where each lives for the other and all live for God.

     Whether as a current member of our parish family or an individual searching for a parish, we hope and pray that you find this community of faith warm, welcoming and committed to the Gospel of Jesus and His church. Our parish family is encouraged to seek a deeper understanding of what it means to use our time, talents and treasure by serving our church in one or more of our many ministries and by being good stewards. Our parishioner’s presence enriches us and builds up the life of the Church.

     As you glance through our website, you will find the elements of our faith community that we hope will lead you to a deeper relationship with God, engage you in a greater sense of community with others and inspire you to wider service to our sisters and brothers.

     Once again welcome, we are glad to have you with us as we journey together in and with the Lord of life, love and all good and wonderful things as Jesus is our past, present and future.

  • Sun. Jun 29, 1:30pm: Costume Contest followed by GUIDED BY GRACE: ST. PETER, ST. PAUL, AND THE PAPACY

    FEAST OF STS. PETER AND PAUL – 

    SUNDAY, JUNE 29

    Fr. Darrell has an interesting and creative idea he wants to try out this year, and you're invited to be part of it! Join us on the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul for a special afternoon of faith, fun, and a little holy imagination!

     

    COSTUME CONTEST – 

    GET CREATIVE!

    Come dressed as the Pope or the Blessed Virgin Mary! (Yes, really!) While children will likely lead the way, everyone is invited to join the fun. The Costume Contest will begin promptly at 1:30PM in the Parish Hall. There will be two categories for judging: youngsters and adults, with prizes awarded for best costume in each category. So put your thinking caps on and start designing your costume today—we can’t wait to see what you come up with! 

    GUIDED BY GRACE: ST. PETER, ST. PAUL, AND THE PAPACY

    Immediately following the costume contest, Father Darrell will give a talk in the Parish Hall on the profound significance of Sts. Peter and Paul—pillars of the early Church. St. Peter, the first Pope, was entrusted by Jesus to “feed my sheep,” while St. Paul, tireless missionary and theologian, carried the Gospel to the nations. Father will also speak on Pope Leo XIV and the Church’s continuing mission to bring Christ to the world.
