Saint Mary Parish, a vibrant Roman Catholic Family of Faith, Love, and Service, located in beautiful Ridgefield, Connecticut, serves over 3,000 families in upper Fairfield County, CT, as well as Westchester County, NY.  We have also partnered with the inner city Parish of Saint Peter in Bridgeport, Connecticut.

Our Parish Mission is threefold - to live the gift of our Catholic faith each and every day, always trying to enrich our understanding of that gift and to make every effort to practice our faith in compassionate service.

In November of 2015, we established a new model of Parish leasdership, "Leadership in Collaboration," with 4 new senior staff positions, two clergy and two lay, that function in an integrated way to support the Pastor and make up his leadership team.  Click here to read more. 

Come and join our Saint Mary Parish Family, or just stop by for Mass or a visit.  

Parish Office Hours: 10:00am-4:00pm, Monday - Friday

Fr. Lourduraj Pitchai
Welcome to our Parish Fr. Lourduraj Pitchai, O. Praem., who comes to us from Tamilnadu, South India.  Fr. Pitchai was ordained in 1989 and has been ministering in the school system of his Norbertine religious order as a principal. He has also served as a Pastor in two different assignments. Fr. Pitchai holds bachelor degrees in education, science, philosophy and theology and a masters in science.  Bishop Caggiano is assigning him to us for a 3 year period. We look forward to his presence and work among us. Since Fr. Pitchai has never ministered in the United States, we will do everything we can to help him make the transition to our country and culture. One final note – Fr. Pitchai enjoys football, basketball and volleyball.
