General Suggestions

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
Summer Fridays: 10:00am-1:00pm (June - August)

On behalf of our entire Parish, I wish to thank our loyal choir members who participated in our June 15 Mass of Thanksgiving- Jean Mooney, Jeannette LaForte, Paula Lockfort, Grace Fuschetto, Linda Iseley, Monica Taddonio, Jennifer Porretta, Melanie Cain, and Lisa Wroblewski, and special thanks to Tracy Smith for his leadership role.  

Our guest vocal soloists were tenor Dustin Lucas, who is a full time member of The Metropolitan Opera Chorus, and soprano Sarah Payne, who is a 2014 winner of the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions. Sarah is currently enrolled in the Master’s program at Mannes College of Music in New York City. Enhancing our Mass throughout was harpist Wendy Kerner, a Juilliard graduate and professor of harp at Sacred Heart University. She also founded and directs The Elyrica Harp Ensemble Program, held at our parish each summer.  The music, enhancing our Mass of Thanksgiving, was beyond superb, and I personally am so grateful to Darren Motise, our Parish Music Director, for coordinating a Mass I shall never forget!
