Be a part of our New Church Picture Directory! You will be able to view it FREE online or with the mobile app anywhere! We will also be able to print out the directory for those desiring one and have periodic updates. ALL PARISH MEMBERS ARE INVITED TO BE INCLUDED! Our last directory was in 2019. We’re sure you’ve changed at least a bit! No professional portraits this time to worry about scheduling. You submit your favorite selfie or we can take your picture, too. No months waiting before you see the results! Look for the presentation board in the gathering space explaining the Directory process, and join by contacting Deacon Greg at deacongreg@stmarysdsm.org or (319) 240-0840 to review your desired information to be shown in the directory or if you have any questions.
