St. Mary's Catholic Church Park City

What St. Mary's Catholic Church Park City does

St. Mary of the Assumption Catholic Church (dba St. Mary's Catholic Church Park City) is a non-profit Catholic parish founded in 1881 by miners in Park City, Utah, operating under the Diocese of Salt Lake City. It serves parishioners across Park City and the Wasatch Back through three owned locations: St. Mary's Church (1505 White Pine Canyon Road, ~600 seats), the historic Old Town Chapel at 121 Park Avenue (Utah's oldest Catholic Church, built 1884, ~125 seats), and St. Lawrence Mission in Heber City (5 South 100 West), plus the St. Lawrence Thrift Store in Heber City as a wholly-owned retail ministry.

The parish delivers the full portfolio of Catholic liturgical services (daily and weekend Mass in English, Spanish, and Latin; Confession; Eucharistic Adoration including Nocturnal Adoration), the seven sacraments (Baptism, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Confirmation, Matrimony, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders/funerals), and faith formation programs (Religious Education K-9, OCIA for adults, Children's Liturgy, Young Family Ministry, The Summit speaker series, community groups such as Bible Study and Walking with Purpose, plus fraternal bodies including Knights of Columbus Council 1129 and the Templars altar servers). Charitable ministries extend the mission into the community: a Tuesday food bank, the Gabriel Project for expecting mothers, a Charitable Assistance Program for rent and bill emergencies, and a renewed Jail Ministry. The parish has no proprietary technology systems; its digital operations run on a stack of third-party SaaS including Pushpay for online giving, Flocknote for parish communications, Formed.org for Catholic content, Calendly for scheduling, Typeform for registrations, Square for the thrift store e-commerce site, and YouTube/Facebook/Instagram/Flickr for outreach.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring offertory (tithes), averaging approximately $113,586/month across disclosed January-May 2025 figures, supplemented by periodic second collections directed to the Diocese and other causes, facility and event fees (e.g., $500 Quinceañera scheduling fee, $10 Mass intentions, wedding coordination), and retail sales from St. Lawrence Thrift Store. The go-to-market motion is community-led: acquisition occurs through parish involvement, group participation, word-of-mouth referrals, Flocknote communications, social media, and physical presence rather than paid marketing. The parish is led by Pastor Fr. Arokia Dass David (appointed August 1, 2025), Parochial Vicar Fr. Kenneth Rey Parsad (ordained June 13, 2025), Deacon Tom Tosti, and a lay staff of roughly 11-50 including the first-ever Director of Charity, Maria Villar.

Broad incumbents

• Catholic Community Services of Utah: Diocesan social services agency and St. Mary's community partner; broader Utah-wide footprint delivering refugee resettlement, housing, and emergency aid that overlaps with St. Mary's charitable assistance mission.

• Saints Peter and Paul Parish (West Valley City): Another diocesan parish in the greater Salt Lake area where Fr. Arokia Dass David previously served; directly comparable in Catholic sacramental and formation programming within the same governance structure.
• Park City Community Church: Largest non-Catholic congregation in Park City serving the same affluent resort-market demographic; competes for parishioners, donor dollars, and community visibility in the immediate Park City geography.
• St. Patrick Parish (Salt Lake City): Catholic parish within the same Diocese of Salt Lake City with a comparable urban-suburban membership base; useful peer for benchmarking programming, offertory performance, and stewardship models.

• Our Lady of the Mountains: Catholic parish serving Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley in Colorado — a comparable ski-resort, high-cost-of-living market with a similar mix of year-round residents and second-home visitors, making it one of the closest direct analogues to St. Mary's Park City.

Emerging players
