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.
