St. Mary's Online Registration Service for Weekend Masses
When you register, you will receive a 5 letter confirmation code and
an email confirmation. You do not need to print anything, your name will be on a list at the door.
*Registration closes Friday morning at 10:00am.
If you would like to attend Weekday Mass, pre-register with the parish office 403-347-3114.
Weekday Masses from Wednesday to Friday will be starting at 9:30am February 18 - March 31

Parishioners and volunteers from demographic groups that are at a greater risk of serious illness, such as people 65 years of age or older and individuals with chronic medical conditions, are encouraged to stay safe by avoiding public gatherings, but are not prohibited from attending Mass if they so choose. Anyone attending Mass does so at their own risk.
Funerals
St. Mary's is still able to help with funeral arrangements and support if one of our parishioners passes away.
Please call the parish office for more information: 403-347-3114
SCAM ALERT: Scammers are getting better at collecting information about our priests and parishes to fool parishioners into buying gift cards. Please know that a priest would NEVER ask for money/gift cards.
If you receive any emails, please phone the parish office.
DO NOT SEND MONEY OR GIFT CARDS.
Welcome Adam Rieger.
Adam joins us from St. Joseph's Seminary.
He will be with us for a year.
A lot of people help St. Mary’s Masses run smoothly. As a matter of fact, we could not do it without you! We are in need of volunteers who are willing to be Safety Coordinators, Point of Entry Teams, Ushers and Cleaning & Disinfecting Teams.
We are also in need of proclaimers.
Please contact the office if you are interested, 403-347-3114.
Thank you.
