Description
St. Mary's is a part of the larger Catholic Church, which is made up of 24 different Churches -- 24 rites, or styles of worship, ranging from the Byzantine-Slavonic churches to the Syro-Malabar rite in India.
Our parish is part of the Roman rite. The Baptismal Symbol of Faith in the Roman rite, used when a child or adult becomes a follower of Christ in Baptism, is the Apostles Creed -- it is used especially at Mass during the Easter Season and on other Sundays.
It is the fundamental statement of our faith -- as parish members, as followers of Christ and as members of the universal Catholic Church.
