Parish Pastoral Council
The Parish Pastoral Council shares with the Pastor/Administrator a role of leadership in identifying the pastoral needs of the parish and in the building up of the Body of Christ by welcoming God’s faithful in a caring, Christian community. The Council consists of fourteen ordinary members elected by the parish, as well as ex-officio members. St. Mary’s parishioners interested in becoming a Council member should contact the Pastor as well as submit a resume.

Staff Meetings
Periodically the staff of St. Mary Parish, along with Reverend Philip E. McGaugh meet to discuss past, current and future events that impact the parish. We find that this form of communication allows us to make informative judgments and decisions as well as it allows us to creatively think of events that will bring joy, peace and well being to the spiritual, physical and financial development of the parish.
Music Ministry
The goal of the music ministry is to enhance the weekend and special liturgies wth inspirational and uplifting music. We have an Adult Choir that ministers through their singing at the 10:00 a.m. Mass every Sunday (formal choir September – May and informal choir June – August). Our repertoire consists of a wide variety of music ranging from contemporary praise songs to classical choral works. New members are always welcome. Rehearsals are Sundays from September through May. For more information, please see Felicia Kopelman-Hayes after any of the Masses, or call the Parish Center at (781) 963-4141 ext 19.
