We, the Roman Catholic community of St. Mary's, by our baptism have become the People of God, dedicated to living and proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are a community built on faith and the sharing of individual talents, abilities and skills for the sake of the Kingdom of God. Empowered by the Holy Spirit and strengthened by prayer and the sacraments, we continue the mission of Jesus to reveal God's presence in all of human life.

Loving God, Raise up dedicated leaders who will shepherd your people and guide them to your Son.

October 14 ~ Would you be willing to pray for one hour? 40 Days for Life is a unique pro-life effort that consists of 40 days of prayer, fasting and peaceful vigil in front of abortion clinics. National campaigns since 2007 have resulted in the closing of 43 clinics, including 3 in Michigan, as well as over 8,245 babies lives saved, and mothers spared the tragedy of abortion. The GR campaign will be in front of the Heritage Clinic at 320 E. Fulton, the only abortion clinic still operating in our community. Dozens of area churches have adopted a day of prayer. Our parish cluster has chosen Friday, October 14 from 7am to 7pm to fill in the time slots to pray to end abortion and close the Heritage abortion clinic in GR. Contact Lisa Potts 616-723-3213 or [email protected] to sign up or for more information. If you are unable to attend that day you may go to the clinic and pray any time! Thank you for your commitment to LIFE! www.40daysforlife.com/GrandRapids.
