Welcome! 
 

We are located in Simsbury, CT. We are a parish community of 2,200 households and over 200 students at St. Mary’s school. St. Mary’s Church offers a daily Mass, a Saturday evening vigil Mass and three Masses on Sunday. During the school year we also have two Sunday Masses at Squadron Line Elementary School for our Religious Education program. 

St. Mary’s has a strong commitment to education. We operate the only Catholic elementary school in the Farmington Valley. At the same time we are proud of the Religious Education program we operate for our young people in the public school system. There are nearly endless volunteer opportunities in both programs. 

We welcome all families and parishioners to join us in the supremely important journey that we call life in Christ. We pray that we might always be worthy of the trust you have placed in us.
