Dear Friends,

Thank you for coming to our newly revised Website. As the pastor of Our Lady of Mercy, my prayer is that you find it informative and helpful.

Throughout the years of my life, several key words in the Scriptures have helped to motivate me and shape my vision of life. From the Old Testament are the words, “Choose life.” In the New Testament, I have always been struck by the words of Jesus in John 10: 1-10, where he states,

“I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.”

My vision for OLM has been to foster the life of the parish, to build community, and to bring Christ to the surrounding communities. Our Lady of Mercy is especially dedicated to living out the Spiritual and Corporal Works of Mercy. As humans, we often fall short of this goal, but empowered by the Holy Spirit, we continue onward.

OLM is a vibrant parish, with many dedicated men, women, and children. Our parish grammar school is exceptional. I am extremely proud of the students who graduate from Mercy. They are well prepared for high school, college, and beyond. The school has become like a second family for so many of our young people. Our Religious Education Program is excellent as well. Our goal is to impart doctrinal knowledge along with a lived experience of Jesus. We must know Jesus personally to serve Him and to love Him.

There are many societies in the parish. Our buildings are always bustling with activity. For more information, click on the Parish Life button on the menu bar above.

The Mass is at the heart of our parish life. To celebrate good liturgy is our goal. We are constantly working to allow Jesus to speak to us through our liturgical celebration. Mass is celebrated daily, and on Saturdays and Sundays. We have Traditional Mass, Folk Mass, Contemporary Music Mass geared towards the high school youth, and a Family Mass geared to families with young children. Click on the Mass Schedules quick link or button on the menu above for more information. We have two wonderful choirs, both an adult and a children’s choir. Hand bells are used with both choirs. You are welcome to attend church with us.

As Jesus said to his disciples,
“Come and see.”

May God bless you.

In Christ Jesus,

Father Robert Blyman, Pastor
