Evangelization
As Baptized Christians, we are all called to proclaim the Good News and to share
our faith stories. To evangelize is to walk with parishioners on their faith
journey, to invite those who are inactive to return, to participate in
ecumenical dialogue, and to welcome those who have no church home.

Family Life
The role of
Family Life Ministry is to nourish and support the everyday lives of the members
of the St. Mary's Parish family. Services and
activities focus on meeting individual and family needs from the beginning to
the end of life. The different groups in this Ministry include the
Senior Citizens' Club, the Women's Group, Scouts and various support groups. The
parish pilgrimage to the Annual March for Life is coordinated through Family
Life Ministry. Another group coordinated through Family Life is the Cyrenians
which includes health ministry and rides and food for parishioners in times of
need.

Liturgy and
Worship
The Liturgical Ministries of St.
Mary's include Extraordinary Ministers of

There are approximately 280 people participating in these lay ministries. Every
year we have training sessions at least once for the different ministries. Last
year we had a Liturgical Day of Reflection to which all liturgical and music
ministers were invited. It was held at the George Mason Catholic Campus
