The Olive Branch is a Catholic Information Center established to reach out in peace, acceptance and friendship to the people of Franklin. This storefront outreach ministry is located in the center of Franklin to offer a place of reflection, prayer, information and hospitality in the midst of bustle of daily living.

The Center offers pamphlets, books, videos and audio material to inspire a deepening of spiritual life and an understanding of Catholicism. It hosts adult education class in RCIA, Scripture Study, Alpha, and other group activities of St. Mary’s ministries.

It is open daily as much as volunteer staffing allows. If you are interested in volunteering, please call the rectory.

It is our goal as the outreach ministry of St. Mary’s Church to see all people as children of God and brothers and sisters to one another. In God’s Name no one will be turned away who is seeking the truth. We will consciously try through the power of the Holy Spirit to reflect the Beatitudes as our basis for Christian Living.
