St. Mary’s is a vibrant Catholic community that dates back to 1843. For 175 years, our church has been ministering to the needs of the Edwardsville community. And while facilities and faces have changed a bit over the years, one thing remains the same…our commitment to Christ, to one another, and to the betterment of our community.

As a result, our parish today is an active community comprised of almost 680 households. Led by a dedicated pastor, administrative staff, and a strong corps of lay leaders and volunteers, there is an increasing number of ways that people of all ages and backgrounds are participating in the spiritual, educational, social and service ministries of our faith community.

Yet, despite our long history of activity and accomplishment, there are some critical challenges that remain.
