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.

Join us for the St. Joseph Feast and Altar (Fiesta y Altar de San José). St. Joseph (San José) is a powerful patron. He is, as John Paul II called him, the "Guardian of the Redeemer". He humbly accepted his role as guardian, husband and father in the Holy Family. Therefore, San José’s intercession has been sought for centuries.
