Communications
Getting information out to the parish community is rarely an easy task. At St Mary's, we ordinarily communicate information to the parish community through three different forms of media.
Announcements before the Weekend Masses
Announcements before the weekend Masses are a good way to draw attention to the activities of the parish community. Announcements must be concise, connected to the life of the parish community, and are subject to the approval of the pastor.
They can be submitted to email Esperanza Griffith
Sunday Bulletin
If you have information about events in our community or parish life and would like them to appear in the bulletin, please submit them to staff@stmaryscathedral.org. Any announcements for the parish bulletin need to be submitted by midday on Thursday of the previous week in order to appear in the coming weekend bulletin (a week and a half in advance). Announcements must be relevant to the life of the parish, the Catholic faith, and are subject to approval of the pastor.
Weekly Flocknote
Each week on Friday we send out an email with the text of the announcements that will be read before the weekend Masses, notices for funerals, and information about other upcoming events and the Cathedral.
You can easily sign up using the form on the bottom of our homepage.
You will receive a weekly email that includes: information about upcoming events, special Masses, religious education updates, and events hosted by our parish ministries and Diocesan events. Many of our parishioners have found this means of communication to be very helpful.
Website
This website includes information about the various ministries and activities in our parish community. There are links for ministry schedules, the parish calendar, as well as periodic updates to the home page with current information for upcoming events. If you have an upcoming parish event or ministry that should be included on the Cathedral website, contact the parish office.
Deaf Community
We hear with our eyes; we believe in our hearts; we speak with our hands about The Word of Life - Jesus Christ. It is critical that everyone have an opportunity to receive God's saving message and the gifts of the Mass. The Deaf Community is no exception. The only Mass with American Sign Language in the city is held at St. Mary’s Cathedral at the 9:00 am Sunday Mass every week.
