We are continuing to discuss the responsibilities of taking care of our home here at St. Mary’s.

There are many duties to keep the house running smoothly; and as in any family, we all have responsibilities to make each person in our family feel included and spiritually fulfilled.

This is your house. Without you, it would not exist. Your house is your responsibility.
