Saint Mary of the Hills

The St. Mary of the Hills community congratulates you as you welcome your new child.

The very fact that you asked to have your child baptized is a sure sign that you recognize the importance of God in your life. Your child’s baptism is only the beginning of a new life in which you will grow closer to one another in the family and closer to God.

Baptisms are celebrated at 1:30 P.M. on the last Sunday of the month. Please contact the rectory in advance to schedule your child's baptism.
