A Rich Diversity

People who attend our local Catholic parish have noticed that Saint Mary is a very diverse group of Catholics. This is only fitting, as Catholic means universal.

Volunteer Opportunities, Foster Homes Needed

PETCO-GILROY AND PETSMART-MILPITAS ADOPTION CENTERS - Our two permanent adoption centers are temporary homes for our little waifs as they await their forever homes.  We need to staff each with reliable and dedicated volunteers so we know the kitties are well taken care of every day, so we hope you will decide to volunteer there caring for our kitties.  If you can donate a few hours a week, we'd love to have your help.  Please contact Linda Cunningham at [email protected] if you'd like to help at Petco-Gilroy, or Paula Myers at [email protected] you'd like to help at PetsMart-Milpitas.  It's the best and happiest volunteer job you'll ever have, and is one way to love kitties without the full responsibility of actual pet ownership, help kitties without adding to your own household kitty headcount, or fill your kitty void from having an allergic family member!

Then in July these priests must pull up stakes and move to a new parish. The process may be painful, as they leave behind familiar surroundings, friends and colleagues to face the unknown in a new rectory, church and community.
