Mary, Mother of the Church is a Roman Catholic parish

in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis. 

"It is in the parish that one becomes engaged with the Church community, learns how to become a disciple of Christ, is nurtured by Scripture, is nourished by the sacraments, and ultimately becomes an evangelizer. And remember, an evangelizer is a disciple who shares the faith!"

"The Parish: Neighborhood of the New Evangelization" - USCCB

Welcome to Mary, Mother of the Church! Our mission is simple, we want to “Live Jesus”. Apart from Jesus, we will not be able to accomplish our mission. Our congregation believes that not only do we have the support of one another, but with the gift of the Holy Spirit, we will be able to fulfill our mission to love God, love others, and make joyful disciples.

Your gifts are welcome here, and we hope that your active participation in our congregation will allow the new life you find in Jesus to grow strong in you and so be of service to others. All for the glory of God!

What does it mean that Mary is Mother of the Church? 

"The Blessed Mother of God, the New Eve, Mother of the Church, continues in heaven her maternal role with regard to Christ's members, cooperating with the birth and growth of divine life in the souls of the redeemed."

– Pope Saint Paul VI's "Credo of the People of God".

"Mary is present in the Church as the Mother of Christ, and at the same time as that Mother whom Christ, in the mystery of the Redemption, gave to humanity in the person of the Apostle John. Thus, in her new motherhood in the Spirit, Mary embraces each and every one in the Church, and embraces each and every one through the Church. In this sense Mary, Mother of the Church, is also the Church's model. Indeed, as Paul VI hopes and asks, the Church must draw "from the Virgin Mother of God the most authentic form of perfect imitation of Christ."

- Pope Saint John Paul II's "Redemptoris Mater"
