Pastor's Welcome

As pastor of St. Mary Parish, it is my privilege to greet you in the name of St. Mary's congregation.
Our parish has been here in Massillon since 1839 and is still a thriving and energetic community, dedicated to serving Almighty God in every way possible. We are especially proud of the fact that our Church is dedicated to Mary, the Mother of God, in the city of Massillon, which is named for French Bishop Jean Baptiste Massillon, Court Chaplain for one of the Kings of France and later Bishop of Clermont in France.

In addition to the many ministries of our people we also are particularly happy that our St. Vincent de Paul Society serves the poor in our area by providing food assistance to all who call for help.

If you are interested in becoming a member of Saint Mary's please get in touch with us. May the peace of Jesus Christ be with you always.

Fr. Ed Gretchko
