Parish Groups

"Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and for ever more!  From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised."
            Psalm 113:2-3

The Altar Rosary Society (ARS) helps with the upkeep and purchase of liturgical vestitures for St. Mary Church. Annual Spring and Fall card parties are held for this purpose.

The Altar Rosary Society meets on the first Monday of every month to celebrate Mass and pray the rosary. All are welcome to join us in this celebration.

Holy Name Society

This ministry supports the Parish in many ways. We sponsor an annual Day of Recollection, Turkey Festival and Fruit Sale. Meetings are held the second Sunday of each Month.

Knights of Columbus

The Knights of Columbus Father Ragan Council 3269 is conveniently situated near I-90 next to BJ's Wholesale Club. A group of Roman Catholic men from the Avon and Avon Lake areas founded the Father Ragan Council in 1950 and built the structure themselves. They actively support the parishes of Avon and Avon Lake as well as the communities. Membership information can be obtained by calling or submitting a form online. Although this is a fraternal organization, an affiliated women's auxiliary is also associated. The party center is available for rent for such occasions as weddings, showers and private parties.
