St. Mary's parish was established 5 years ago and now and serves approximately 3,500 parishioners at 10 station Churches.
Stations can be as many as 23 kilometers apart.

The parish has 6 primary schools and 1 secondary school. These schools face many challenges: poorly built buildings not designed as school buildings, insufficient teacher housing, inadequate school supplies, and the list goes on.

Despite the many challenges the people are full of hope and joy. The people of Malawi are known throughout Africa for their peace and happiness. Malawi is recognized as "the warm heart of Africa."

A team of parishioners, adults and teens, will be travelling to Malawi July 22 - Aug 5 2021 to meet the people of St. Mary's and to lay the ground work for our Sister parish program.

It will be a time for sharing faith and culture and for sharing the blessings that we have with our brothers and sisters.

Along with time to form relationships and to learn about life in Ntaja; we will be participating in service projects at the parish and visiting the sick and elderly.
We also plan to spend several days at Utale II Health Center and Alleluya Care Center.
