Dear Parishioners,
I'm writing to ask for your help.
Not being able to have  Mass on the weekends has been a spiritual trial for all of us.I certainly miss being able to gather for worship with all of you. Unfortunately, this situation is going to continue for a while.  So let us continue to pray for and with each other through our daily personal prayers.
Additionally, the cancellation of Masses is hurting the parish financially since we are not having our weekly collections. So I'm asking you to please keep making your weekly donations. Below is information on how you can make your donations through your bank. There are no fees involved in this process. If you have questions about the process you may email our parish accountant, Lisa Shumaker, and she will be happy to help you.
You can also mail your checks to the parish. Our address is 13715 Notre Dane Place, Bryantown, MD 20617.

 Thirdly, you can bring your donations to the rectory. There is a mail slot on the front door the rectory and you can put your donations through the slot.
If you have any needs I can help you with, please give me a call at the number below. If I don’t answer leave me as message and I will call you back.
Lastly, Pope Francis is asking all Christians to pray the Our Father tomorrow, March 25,  at noon local time asking God to free the world from this virus.
With my prayers for you and your families,
Fr. Conley

Fellow Parishioners,

If you have access to online banking, please participate in online giving, utilizing web bill pay.  To participate, you would need to set up St. Mary's Church as a vendor, with the address of 13715 Notre Dame Place, Bryantown, MD 20617.  Your envelope number can be used as your account number, and you can note, as a comment, what your donation is to be used for, i.e. offertory.  These payments can be set up as a reoccurring monthly transaction.  This service is free for the parishioners and the church.  It is quite helpful to assist in budgeting during these tough financial times for the church and its daily operations.  Thank you for your assistance.
