The team hopes that your experiences at St. Martha and St. Mary will encourage you and keep you engaged in our Collaborative community. We welcome you to join with us to serve our family of faith in both outreach and spiritual. Current SET members will be available to greet you after Masses this weekend. Please stop to chat. We’ll be happy to answer your questions about this ministry and to hear your feedback.
