WELCOME TO ST. MARY’S
In 1881, God gave a small group of miners a mission to bring to these mountains the world’s greatest treasure: the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, the Eucharist, and the Faith and Charity that flow from Him.
Today, that mission has spread from the streets of Old Town Park City, to the meadows of White Pine Canyon, to the Heber Valley and beyond. St. Mary’s seeks to evangelize, catechize, give back in Charity, and enrich the community through the Catholic Faith and its intellectual, artistic, and cultural traditions. To bring all the treasure of Jesus Christ, for the salvation of souls, and the Greater Glory of God!

PRESERVE & BEAUTIFY
ST. MARY’S CHURCH
HELP REPLACE THE ROOF
In the next few years, $3-4 million worth of facilities renovations will be needed for St. Mary’s campus. A large portion of this will be needed by this coming summer 2025 to replace the church roof, with the parish center roof then to follow.
Your generous end-of-year gift towards the $1 million need to replace St. Mary’s Church roof will ensure this beautiful church, this sanctuary of Park City, can continue to welcome all to worship, to gather, and to receive the Body of Christ!
St. Mary’s EIN (tax number) is 87-0482467. Thank you!
BRING CHRIST
TO THOSE IN NEED
BUILD THE CHARITY FUND
St. Mary’s is a sanctuary of Charity! Community partners like Park City Community Foundation, Peace House, Holy Cross Ministries, and more look to St. Mary’s for help with providing those in need with housing assistance. And your gifts to the charity fund provide homes, food, clothing, diapers, and more to hundreds of local families in need each year, many of whom are single mothers and young children.
Today, the demand for assistance is greater than ever, but through your support and the incredible work of our new Director of Charity Maria Villar, St. Mary’s is bringing the love of Christ to more families in need than ever before. Your generous gift to the charity fund will help raise an additional $300,000 this coming year to help those most in need.

Host Home Program
The Windrider Summit is a unique cultural immersion experience at the Sundance Film Festival that brings together students, filmmakers and community leaders to enjoy films and engage in thoughtful conversation. Windrider equips and encourages participants to view and tell stories of reconciliation and redemption while engaging with the important topics of our culture. We identify ways to approach cultural conversations with empathy — bridging the divisiveness that often exists in this type of dialogue.
Windrider would not be able to offer such a unique opportunity without the hospitality of our local partners. By hosting a few students and professors in your home from January 26-31 during the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, you can support the next generation of faithful leaders and make this one-of-a-kind experience accessible to them.
The generosity of the Park City community has made it possible to offer the Windrider Summit for over 20 years. Host home volunteers are dear members of the Windrider family, and your hospitality is an invaluable contribution to our participants. If you are interested in joining Windrider as a host home in 2024, fill out the interest form on our website (www.windriderinstitute.org/host-homes). Please fill out the Host Home Interest Form before January 8, 2025.
