Welcome to St. Mary of the Hills Catholic Parish, located in Rochester Hills, MI since 1989. Currently, over 1600 families worship with us. We are a sacramental people led by the Holy Spirit, seeking to grow together in faith, love and charity. We are called by God the Father to be a welcoming presence of Jesus in our parish and community through worship, education, fellowship, and service. 

 
Taize Stations of Light - Thursday, May 17 at 7:30 PM in the chapel.

What is Taize?

A Taize service blends meditative singing, Scripture readings, and prayerful silence. It is a peaceful way to deepen your relationship with God. The combination of the song and Scripture allows everyone present to become deeply aware of God's presence within them. United through songs of trust in God and His Word, it is a simple, yet powerful way to join in prayer with each other. Each service beautifully combines the community with individual prayer.

If this is your first experience with Taize or if you have prayed with us before, please join us for an evening of Scripture, song and reflection.
