their shattered lives. (PG-13)

Mission Statement St. Mary’s Catholic Community strives to live the

Gospel of Jesus Christ, “love one another.” Jesus is the heart of our community and Sunday Liturgy is the center of our worship. With Mary as our patroness and model, we open our hearts and community to all. As we journey in faith, we grow through our sacramental life, Christian education, and opportunities for spiritual enrichment. Our vision is expressed in a commitment to peace and justice, respect for all life, appreciation for the unique gifts of every person, and outreach to those in need. Our parish family affirms all members in their search for truth as they meet the challenge of being Catholics in this modern world.

and listening to familiar carols on Sunday, December 20 at 7:00. “Holy Light” is a candlelight service that reflects on the miracle of the birth of

Christ through choral arrangements by Robert Hobby, who recently was commissioned to compose two pieces for the Papal Mass at St.

Patrick’s Cathedral during the recent visit by Pope Francis. Interspersed between the carols sung by our wonderful 36 member

choir will be inspirational readings by Susan Palo Cherwien. Allow the light of Christ to permeate your hearts and better prepare you to spread

the Christmas message of love and hope to a fractured world.

If you find yourself needing a break from the commercialism of Christmas, reward yourself by spending an evening singing

Candlelight Service of Carols

As we draw closer to Christmas, our attention turns to a tiny Bethlehem, where the Son of God will be born, and the teenager Mary, who is to bear this Son of God into the world. A small town and a young, seemingly insignificant Jewish girl show us that God’s plans include each and every one of us , whether we are wealthy, rich, and strong or not. Let us continue our joyful Advent vigil for the One who will bring salvation, justice mercy and peace. How can I “go out of myself” this week and throughout the Christmas season to bring the “balm of God’s tender mercy?” Think of a specific person or situation.
