Pastor's Welcome
Hello & Welcome!
Everyone is invited to join us at St. Mary Magdalene Parish.
As disciples on a Journey, let us help you to discover Jesus and follow Him with Love and Mercy. We are happy to share the good news about our Savior, Jesus Christ.
God is love. Love is God. Your presence in our midst is special and important!
Jesus dwells here at St. Mary Magdalene Church -- in this, His house and in His people. Join us to share and live the experience of God the Father, His Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit! As pastor, I truly enjoy being here to see Jesus in so many faces.
You may wonder what to expect at St. Mary Magdalene’s. You’ll connect with others and grow deeper in your faith! Discover the many opportunities to make new friends and family. Discover how the love of the Holy Spirit can change your life!
Let us worship together today, tomorrow and every day. We look forward to meeting you!
God Bless,
Fr. Xavier Santiago
Why Visit?
The Catholic Mass is full of God’s love and mercy. It strengthens us through the Living Word, music and praise, relevant homilies and the living experience of Christ in the Eucharist.
We have daily worship services; on the days we don't have Mass, we have a prayer service. We also have adoration, rosary, Bible study, and various small and large groups and ministries offered throughout the year. Whether you are a single young adult, a family with children, a senior, or anyone in between, we're sure that you'll find a home within our faith community!
Plan your visit!
Our worship space offers a comfortable and deeply spiritual environment. You will find yourself surrounded by the changing seasons in our beautiful church building. As you enter the building, you will be welcomed by smiling faces. Our greeters are happy to point you in the direction of worship or community events and can answer any other questions you might have about our facilities.
On the second Sunday of the month, our Fellowship Committee serves donuts after Mass. When the weather is good, families can make use of our outdoor play structures. (If the weather is not so good, feel free to stay and play with your child in the church nursery!) Jesus loves children, so children of all ages are welcome to join their families in the church. If you would prefer a quieter environment for your baby, there is an optional cry room located in the back of the church.
If you have any special needs or considerations, please let a greeter know. A hearing loop is available to those who are hard of hearing, and gluten-free hosts are available for Communion; just let us know before Mass starts so we can have one available for you.
And once you're here...
The fastest way to feel like a part of our community, and to get to know people, is to get involved! Besides our various worship and faith study options, we also have many ways for you to contribute through volunteering.
You can make use of the talents God gave you, such as in gardening, cooking, singing or playing music, visiting the sick or homebound, or getting involved in social justice. Find out how you too can get involved!
