Greetings!  Welcome to the St. Mary’s website!  We are located in Canandaigua in the heart of the upstate New York Finger Lakes.  We are a vibrant community offering many services and enjoying rich worship, lively activities, and active school within picturesque City of Canandaigua.  We invite people to visit and warmly welcome those who desire to share in our community life.  There are many ministry areas available depending on one’s gifts and talents.  When you are at St. Mary’s, you are home!  

For the past several years, St Bridget's and St Mary's parishes have been clustered and actively working toward becoming one parish. It is hoped that this process will be completed in July, 2011, when we will be one parish with two worship sites.

Firmly rooted in the Catholic doctrines and traditions St. Mary’s Church, through the power of the Holy Spirit, fulfills its mission by following the ways of Jesus Christ. We, the parishioners who are St. Mary’s Church, represent Jesus Christ to our community. Our mission is to follow the way of Christ in our thoughts, words, and deeds, and to make Christ more fully present in all who live within our community.
