Mission Statement

We, the people of St. Mary Star of the Sea Parish, in union with the Bishop of Lansing and the Bishop of Rome, are empowered by the Holy Spirit in Baptism and called to communion at the Lord's Altar. We are a diverse family who celebrate our Catholic faith together in an historic downtown church. We seek to grow in that faith through providing opportunities for prayer, worship, education, and quality child care. We commit ourselves to affirm, strengthen, and extend our family through Christian Service, and by promotion of God's Justice and Peace.
