Welcome to St. Mary Parish

Welcome to St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception Church, a community-driven Catholic parish in Avon, Ohio. Under the patronage of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we are striving to build God’s Kingdom in our world today through lives of prayer and service.

This fall, St. Mary is launching a new initiative to support our parish, our clergy, and our seminarians!

__________________________________________________________________________________________

St. Mary is pleased to announce that our parish has decided to join the Heart of a Shepherd campaign for the Diocese of Cleveland. This is an extraordinary effort to raise funds for our own parish, as well as better meet and serve the needs of the St. Mary and Borromeo seminaries, current seminarians, and our newly-ordained and retired clergy. A $30 million campaign will support our mission to create an environment that fosters spiritual, social, academic growth and accompaniment. 
St. Mary will benefit as well. 65% of every dollar raised toward this effort will go towards replenishing the parish’s maintenance fund and build a strong savings for our parish’s future. For every dollar raised above our target, 80% will stay with the parish.

MASS OBLIGATION:

Mass Obligation:  Together, the Bishops of Ohio have decided that the general obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation (including the Saturday/Vigil Mass) is to be reinstated (CIC, can. 1247). This was effective in each of the Dioceses of Ohio the weekend of June 5-6, 2021.
In addition, diocesan officials remind the faithful that the dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation remains in effect for those who are ill, have significant health risk factors or care for someone who is immune compromised or ill, as well as those who have significant fear or anxiety of contracting coronavirus in a large group of persons.  If you’re not feeling well, please remain at home.
 

Thank you in continuing to support St. Mary's as Father Tom and the dedicated staff work to spiritually support our parishioners.  St. Mary's is grateful for the wonderful and generous support from our parish family.  We ask for your continued prayers and financial support as we make it through this crisis together.
Parishioners who are not interested in using the direct deposit/ACH method below are encouraged to mail your envelopes to the Parish office.  Write your check and drop it in the mail to: St. Mary - Avon, 2640 Stoney Ridge Rd, Avon, OH 44011.  Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.  God Bless.
