There is something sacred about a summer filled with prayer, quiet moments, and community.

As we approach the close of the season, we invite you to join us one last time:
• Final Mass: Saturday, September 12 at 5:00 PM
• Final Holy Hour for Peace: Wednesday, September 16 at 3:30 PM

Thank you for every prayer whispered here, every candle lit, every moment shared. The peace doesn’t end here because it goes with you.

Until we meet again…

Mary, Star of the Sea, you watch over all who sail uncertain waters. From your shrine here at Maris Stella, you have welcomed generations of people who came in need and left in peace. We come to you today in that same spirit of trust. Bring us to your Son. Pray with us and for us. And let your peace, the peace of one who trusted God completely, rest upon this holy hour. Amen.

We tell ourselves we’ll slow down “later.”
When things settle. When life isn’t so full.

But peace isn’t found in perfect timing. It’s found in making space.

At Maris Stella, the stillness of the bay, the gentle breeze, and the quiet moments are filled with grace just waiting for you to notice.

We’re preparing new retreat opportunities.
Stay close… your invitation is coming.

Peace be with you…

There’s something about the ocean, it quiets us, slows us down, helps us breathe again.

But it also reminds us of something deeper…

“The earth is the Lord’s” (Psalm 24:1)
And we are its stewards.

At Maris Stella, the beauty all around us isn’t just something to enjoy, it’s something entrusted to us.

The Season of Creation begins September 1st.
Maybe this year, it’s not just about finding peace here… but protecting what gives it. Take a moment to think it over.
