St. Mary Parish Community

Westphalia is a close-knit community with much to offer to its' inhabitants. Many community activities and programs involve the church, which is a center of the community.

Father Cecilio's Angels is a motorcycle group whose members meet and go riding throughout the area. The Christian Mothers and Women's Guild promotes and sponsors events that will build spiritual growth of the parish family. The Knights of Columbus are dedicated to promoting the concepts of charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism in the community. The Westphalia Fireman are a huge part of the parish community and hold many events with the church. Westphalia offers Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts for the youth of the community.

The 4th of July Festival is one of the highlights of the year. The Festival brings the community together for numerous activities to celebrate. The picnic would not be successful without the dedication of the whole parish family. Many hours are put in before and after the picnic by behind the scene parishioners. This is a lot of work and would not be possible without the 4th of July Festival Committee.
