St. Mary Help Of Christians

About this church

St. Mary Help of Christians in Aiken celebrates the Sunday vigil Saturday at 5:00 p.m., then Sunday Mass at 8:30 and 11:00 a.m. in English and 1:00 p.m. in Spanish. Weekday Mass is Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 5:30 p.m.; Wednesday at 8:20 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. in Spanish; and Saturday at 8:00 a.m. Confession is offered before weekday evening Masses and Saturday from 3:30 to 4:30. A Wheelchair Express assists people from curb to pew at the two English Sunday Masses.

The Fairfield Street GPS address leads to a parish campus that includes Old St. Mary's, the newer worship space, school facilities, and St. Clare Chapel. Daily silent adoration is available from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the chapel next to the old church. Formation ranges from preschool and the parish's K–8 Catholic school through youth groups, confirmation, OCIA, Bible study, and adult faith exploration. Service ministries address addiction recovery, bereavement, homebound care, prison ministry, poverty, and parish hospitality. With bilingual liturgy, a century-old educational ministry, perpetual-adoration roots, and extensive pastoral support, St. Mary's functions as a large Catholic parish campus rather than a single weekly service site.
