When Mehlville School District cancels classes due to winter weather, it is our policy at Mary, Mother of the Church to close our campus as well. 

 This impacts activities such as Eucharistic Adoration, meetings, exercise programs,
and sports practices. 
Any cancellation of PSR will be communicated directly to the families.

Masses will be held as scheduled, but please use common sense when going out into icy weather. 

                                                     Your safety comes first!

Ideas in Passing
By Joan Chittister, OSB
Advent
A month of Contemplation

The Mission of Mary, Mother of the Church, as a Christ-centered community, is to be a radiant light in the world, and a bold witness to those whose lives we touch, inspiring them to love God and love one another as God loves us.

We Believe That...

• each person is welcomed as a child of God.
• Christ is the center of our parish life.
• our celebration of the Eucharist is the heart of our community life.
• the Holy Spirit guides our growth.
• all human life is sacred.
• we are committed to lifelong Catholic Formation.
• we are called to share our faith.
• we are called to be family.
• we are called to love one another as God loves us.
• we are called to serve others.
• prayer is vital to our lives.
• we are called to share our God-given resources beyond our community.
• we have been entrusted with the care of God's creation.
