BISHOP DAVID J. WALKOWIAK ASKS US TO PRAY FOR OUR SEMINARIANS

Loving God, raise up dedicated leaders who will shepherd your people and guide them to your Son. Give generous and willing hearts to the seminarians of our Diocese who have heard your call to live a life of ser-vice to the Church. Help us to encourage and support them as they strive to become priests who are models of discipleship, possessors of wisdom and on fire with love for your people. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

We especially pray for: Daniel R Orris

Congratulations to Austin & Ashley (Rose) Lampe who celebrated the sacrament of marriage here at St Mary’s on June 17, 2017

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Church Chuckle: Miss Dixie asked her Sunday school class

to draw pictures of their favorite Bible stories. She was puzzled by Larry’s picture of four people on an airplane, so she asked which story he was illustrating. “Oh, it’s Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus, on their flight to Egypt,” he said. “But who’s the fourth person, Larry?” she asked him. “Oh, that’s Pontius, the Pilot.”
