GLORY TO JESUS CHRIST! GLORY FOREVER!

SLAVA ISUSU CHRISTU! SLAVA VO V'IKI!

 A warm welcome to St. Mary Byzantine Catholic Church. Whether through this web site or in person, here you will find a dynamic Byzantine Catholic faith community.  I hope you find this site provides a "taste" of what we are about.

These pages contain much more information about our church and our work together. We joyfully encourage all to come and worship with us at the Divine Liturgy on Saturdays at 4:00 (all English) or Sundays at 8:30 (all English) or 11:00 (English and Church Slavonic).  

 

WELCOME VISITORS!

“MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER FOR ALL PEOPLES.”

Isaiah 56:7 

When you visit St. Mary’s, we want you to know how welcome you are; whether you have come from another part of the country, from across the world, or simply from another parish. We hope you find our worship true and reverent and our people here friendly and cordial.

If you are seeking a spiritual home, we would be honored by your presence in our family. For more information about becoming a parishioner, please see me or Deacon Alex.

Please join us for coffee and donuts in the Fellowship Hall following the Sunday Divine Liturgies.

 If you wish more information, please contact me through e-mail at pastor@stmaryhillsboroughnj.org or by phone at 908-725-0615

 Please know that you are in my prayers!

 Fr. Jim Badeaux

Urgent Request! Our Driveways and Parking Lots are being re-paved and striped, and the concrete sidewalks and curbs have been repaired/replaced before winter weather sets in. As you can see as you walk around, the macadam is cracked and is showing its wear and age of 28 years.  The cost for all the work will be approximately $283,000.  Please consider using the envelopes in the back of the church as well as near the Fellowship Hall to donate to this project. Venmo is welcome too!

Save the Date:  Our annual Tricky Tray will be Friday, October 4, 2024.  If you have medium or large baskets or new items to donate, please bring to church and put on the table by the rectory.entrance.  Thank you.
