Help for Those
with Hearing Loss
St. Mary Parish has purchased three Listen Display Receivers which have been tied to the Church’s sound system. By plugging in a set of earphones, ear buds or head phones, a parishioner will get assistance to hear what is going on in the Mass. The devices will be available to be checked out for use before each Mass and would need to be returned at the conclusion of Mass. Anyone wishing to check out a receiver must sign up ahead of time in the Parish Office. Due to the cost of each receiver, only a limited number are available so they will be handed out at each Mass on a first come first serve basis. Anyone wishing to contribute to the purchase of more receivers should contact Marybeth in the Parish Office, 541-342-1139.
Thank you to the Dolecheks who made a donation to purchase additional hearing devices for the parish,
in memory of their daughter Danielle Dolechek.

Inside the St. Mary Library…
A Divine Mercy Resource: How to Understand the Devotion to Divine Mercy by Richard Torretto review by Katherine Hostetter.
This author reminds us of a short Divine Mercy prayer that can save many souls. Jesus promised, "When you say this prayer, with a contrite heart and faith on behalf of some sinner, I will give him the grace of conversion: O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You." St. Faustina's Diary, section 186. What an astounding grace this is! By saying it for neighbors, co-workers, bad drivers, politicians--or directing it to anyone Jesus chooses--we can help Him change the world! This book also has information about the other beautiful Divine Mercy devotions.
St. Mary Library is located adjacent to the Adoration Chapel and is open Sundays
10:00 am -11:00 am & 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm, and Tuesdays from 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm.

† El Bautismo del señor † Mt 3, 13-17
En aquel tiempo, Jesús llegó de Galilea al río Jordán y le pidió a Juan que lo bautizara. Pero Juan se resistía, diciendo: “Yo soy quien debe ser bautizado por ti, ¿y tú vienes a que yo te bautice?” Jesús le respondió: “Haz ahora lo que te digo, porque es necesario que así cumplamos todo lo que Dios quiere”. Entonces Juan accedió a bautizarlo. Al salir Jesús del agua, una vez bautizado, se le abrieron los cielos y vio al Espíritu de Dios, que descendía sobre él en forma de paloma y oyó una voz que decía, desde el cielo: “Éste es mi Hijo muy amado, en quien tengo mis complacencias”.
