Welcome to St. Mary's Parish, Cochrane

Parish Mission Statement

We are a community of faith trusting in God's love, open to the gifts of the Holy Spirit working within each member, attempting to model ourselves on Christ, and called to serve Him in others.

Stewardship of Time, Talent, Treasure

Our STEWARDSHIP is a complete and total way of life that acknowledges our dependence on God for all we have and all we are. Stewardship of our time, talent and treasure lies at the heart of our Christian life. In short, it’s something we do; it’s the way we live. As Christian stewards, we receive God’s gifts gratefully, cultivate them responsibly, share them in loving justice with others, and return them with increase to the Lord.

** If considering a DONATION (financial or material) to St. Mary's we welcome and most graciously accept your generosity. Please contact the Parish Office for details.

Stewardship of TIME and TALENT

One of the greatest gifts God gives us is our TIME. When we hand back a portion of each day to the One who made all our days without thinking about what we get in return, we are living the life of a steward. Please prayerfully ponder the descriptions of the various ministries that St. Mary's offers and begin your discernment.

Additionally, every one of us has something we can do to help others. The gift of our TALENTS invites us to recognize, cherish and share our God–given abilities. How can you enrich your parish’s faith family? Click here for printable description sheets of our many ministries. Print a VOLUNTEER/STEWARDSHIP sign-up FORM and sign up for the ministry(s) of your choice. Drop the completed form into the collection basket next time you are at Mass or mail it to us.
