Welcome
Welcome to the St Mary Catholic Church, Defiance, Ohio website. All are welcome to browse our website which highlights our many ministries as well as our events calendar. If you would like additional information about our Parish, masses, ministries, upcoming events or becoming Catholic please feel free to email one of our staff members listed on the staff tab or to call the Parish Ministry Center during office hours.
All are welcome to join us for mass, even if you are not Catholic or have not practiced your faith in some time. If you are not Catholic or not prepared to participate in the Holy Eucharist you may still join us in prayer as it is appropriate to be fully prepared prior to receiving the Holy Eucharist.
Upcoming Events
“AWAY IN A MANGER, NO CRIB FOR A BED”
The Defiance County Furniture Bank would like to offer a suggestion for your gift giving Christmas. If you, your family, or your co-workers are looking for an alternative to a gift exchange, please consider reaching out to those in need. In partnership with Ken’s Furniture, a queen mattress set can be purchased for $240, a full size set for $225, and a twin set for $175. If interested in purchasing a mattress set, or making a monetary contribution of any amount, you can use the designated envelope in your offertory envelopes or drop off at the Parish Ministry Center. These mattresses will greatly help persons to whom we minister through our Furniture Bank. Checks can be made to Defiance County Furniture Bank. Thank you for your kindness.
Sharing Bread will be on January 7, 2026
