The Lifelong Adult Ministry (L.A.M.) at St. Mary Parish has the main purpose to enrich senior adult's lives with opportunities for service to others, experiences of self-expression, meaningful work, and a closer relationship with God and fellow seniors.

 

The founding beliefs of L.A.M. :

    **Spiritual and faith development is lifelong; it does not end at any particular age or life stage. 

    **Maturing adult life stages offer special opportunities for life span development.

    **Lifelong adult faith development has been "under nourished" on the menu of all ministries of

       the Church.

    **Lifelong Adult Ministry needs to be given the highest priority in the Church in the 21st  century.

    **Maturing adults need opportunities for stimulating social interaction.

    **As in any stage of life, mature adults need opportunities for wellness education and practice.
