Hello all,

I hope you are healthy and well in this chaotic time. Now more than ever, we turn to Christ our Healer and the Prince of Peace. Trust that God is in our midst, even though we cannot receive Him in the Eucharist. Trust that He is on our side and working good in our lives and in the world even now.

For updates (including the bulletin) and for livestreams of the Mass, please periodically check our website at https://www.stmarykazoo.org/ and the Diocesan Website at https://www.dioceseofkalamazoo.org/ . The Diocesan website also has resources for practicing the faith at home and keeping the Sabbath, which you can find here: https://diokzoo.org/sundayexperience

The governor’s current Stay At Home order allows an exception for religious worship. With this in mind, and mindful of the precautions needed, St. Mary’s church will be open for prayer throughout the week. Please see https://www.stmarykazoo.org/ for details. Following the governor's directives on public gatherings, we are assuming the suspension of public Masses will continue until after Easter. If this changes, we will let you know. 

Until further notice, the parish office is closed. However, if you call the office phone number at 269-342-0621,  you can reach Fr. James, Jeff Cypher, or Deacon Pat. The three of them and myself will also be available by email.

Above all, know that our parish staff is praying for you. Don't hesitate to reach out if you need help in any way.

In the peace of Christ,

Aurelia Vaiana
