A letter to parishioners
Dear members of Saint Mary’s parish,
With this letter I send heartfelt greetings and wish to share with you some current parish issues. Our parish is very international – among them there are Catholics from approximately 70 different countries. Although almost half of our parish members have a foreign background, we all celebrate joyfully the 100 year anniversary of the independence of Finland, which is our common home. We pray for 100-year-old Finland and for all of its inhabitants, that God will bless us abundantly, protect us from all dangers and give us peace and well-being. In accordance with tradition, we celebrate Finland’s Independence Day and the anniversary of the consecration day of St. Mary’s Church on the same day.
St. Mary’s Parish Council Election
St. Mary’s parish is organizing parish council elections. In the election, six members will be elected to the parish council, for a term of five years. All members of the parish, who have reached the age of 18 years, are entitled to vote. A candidate must be a member of St. Mary’s parish who is at least 18 years old, and be fully associated with the Church, known for having strong faith, high morals and prudence.

Welcome to the next meeting of the Youth Group of St. Mary’s Parish! The meeting will be held on the 19th of August at 3pm in the parish hall.
