Wherever we are, we follow the path Christ set for us when we knowingly, willingly, and joyfully demonstrate our faith. At St. Mary Magdalene, we can't keep our faith to ourselves! Sometimes our reach extends to our fellow parishioners, sometimes well beyond our doors. Find your perfect expression of Jesus' love through participation in our social action ministries. You'll know you're in the right place when you simply can't keep your faith to yourself!
