St. Mary’s Parish community strives to serve all ages, inviting parishioners in every season of life to commit to growing in spirit and faith through our formation programs.
“What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.”Â
If you are interested in making that promise, we are here to help. The Catholic Foundation of Southwest Iowa facilitates planned gifts to a parish, school or organization within the Diocese of Des Moines. We’d love to visit with you and help you understand just how easy making that promise can truly be.
