Welcome! St. Mary's is a small but growing church south of Afton and north of Hastings, MN and of Prescott, WI., at 8435 St. Croix Trail South (County Road 21). Whatever your religious background or life story, we open our doors to you.

At St. Mary's music is an essential part of our services. From traditional hymns to contemporary, from classical and Celtic to Bluegrass and Gospel, musical expression plays an important role in our spiritual parish life. St. Mary's also emphasizes year-round education for adults and children. And our special outreach events - Memorial Saturday service, Motorcycle Blessing, Corn Roast, Silent Auction and Thrift Sale - garner wide interest and attendance.

 
Special Announcement:
 
The members of St. Mary's welcomed their new priest, Rev. Scott Monson, to the parish on Sunday, Jan 22.
 
At the Annual Parish Meeting, it was announced St. Mary's Services are being changed to a single 9AM Eucharist.
 
After some time to study this change, decisions on long term scheduling will be made.
 
Everyone gladly welcomes Fr. Monson to St. Mary's and
we all look forward to having him with us for a good while to come.
