Affinity Groups
Daughters of the King
The Daughters of the King is a national order for women who undertake a Rule of Life, incorporating prayer and service into a life that is dedicated to strengthening the spiritual health and engagement of the parish. At St. Mary’s, in addition to various service and prayer projects, the Daughters typically sponsor a reflective Quiet Day, usually at the beginning of Lent, that is open to the entire congregation and other service and prayer projects.

Men’s Group
This group provides an opportunity for the men of the parish to meet for fellowship, share stories, and strengthen our bonds of friendship. We also continually explore ways to welcome new members and serve the broader parish. Men’s group events include meeting for dinner and conversation throughout the year and organizing a Parish Barbecue (or two). Events are advertised in the Sunday Bulletin and Highlights. Our discussion topics will include the challenges and pressures we face in our daily lives, to meet the expectations of our careers, our families, our parents and ourselves.

St. Mary’s Pride
Members and friends
of St. Mary’s LGBTQ+ Community meet occasionally to strengthen our
connections with each other through social interaction. We welcome new
members and inquirers as we discern opportunities for inclusion and
outreach on behalf of St. Mary the Virgin to groups that embrace and
support LGBTQ+ concerns throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. We also
strive to build greater awareness at St. Mary’s of the needs and
concerns of the LGBTQ+ community via our participation in the liturgy
and prayers during
Pride month (June) as well as throughout the year.
(Note: during the pandemic most activities are on pause.)
