Join us after the May 28th service in the Grauer Lounge and Courtyard for ice cream! Serving chocolate (regular) and vanilla (lactose free) along with a number of toppings. Celebrate the end of our formation programs and our fabulous choirs with a scoop or two.

In the fall of 2022, Bishop Clark gave parishes in the Diocese permission to return to the practice of sharing communion wine in the chalice (“common cup”), with some important exceptions. The Vestry and clergy have discussed it and we are now ready to move forward with communion wine.
We recognize that not everyone will be comfortable drinking from a shared chalice. With that in mind, please be aware of the following:

 Many of us, clergy included, want to know and appreciate the Bible but feel it to be a daunting endeavor.  We may know some of what the Good Book says (often we know more than we think we do) but we have a tough time putting it together and seeing how it flows.

We rejoice and we are grateful for the lives and gifts of LGBTQ people in our church and community.  All are welcomed, loved, and celebrated in this place.

Sunday Night Suppers is a free, community meal offered by Park Ridge churches and organizations on Sunday Nights to any family or individual who is in need or wishes to share a meal with others, no questions asked.
Sunday Night Suppers is accomplished through the shared ministry of the Park Ridge Ministerial Association, and St. Mary’s partners with Park Ridge Presbyterian Church as co-hosts of this ministry.

With the donations from St. Mary's Exodus Welcome Pack Closet, we have been able to supply and deliver many Welcome Packs this year. We plan to maintain the closet as a resource to Exodus and the refugees they welcome to the Chicago area. This means it needs to be well stocked to build a pack at any time. Our collection is starting to run thin, so we've created a wish list of items in need.
