Saint Mary 

Saint Mary of the Annunciation Parish is a Roman Catholic Christian Community centered around the Eucharist, welcoming all, while growing through faith and stewardship.  We're located very close to the downtown area.   Our church is handicap accessible and there is ample parking in our parish lot.

If you are new to the Melrose area, we welcome you!  We hope you'll join our faith family and get involved in one or more of our ministries.  Please introduce yourself and your family to Father Shawn, our Pastor, or Father Hughes or Father Janko, our weekend assistants, after any of the Masses.  Also, say hello to "Benji", our parish pet!  You'll love him!

To register for the parish, please click on the PARISH tab, fill out and submit the registration form.

Nourishing the heart through prayer and education, fans the fire of our personal faith journeys.  We offer faith formation, for our children and young adults, as well as anyone interested in learning more about the Roman Catholic faith.  We invite you to share in a full, active and conscious participation in Saint Mary Parish through the Mass and spiritual development programs so we all can better share our faith by promoting social justice, proclaiming the Good News, and opening our doors to our neighbors.  Again, a warm welcome!
