Annual Paper Products Drive
The Knights are asking that you contribute paper products such as:  toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning wipes, napkins, facial tissue and such.  These items will be collected until February 2nd, 2019.  They will be brought to the Harrison County Senior Citizens Resource Office and distributed to senior citizens in need in the area.
The Harrison County Senior Citizens Resource Office distributes Meals on Wheels and noticed that there was a need of these products within the senior community; many seniors can’t afford these products.
Please bring these items to the church or Murray Hall for collection.  Anything you can contribute will be greatly helpful to the seniors.

In honor of the patroness and namesake of our parish, St. Mary, we will entrust our parish to her maternal care using a parish-wide study called 33 Days to Morning Glory by Father Michael Gaitley.  This is a do-it-yourself retreat that we will do as a parish by simply reading 2 pages a day from the book (or by listening to an audio or podcast), using FORMED videos by Father Gaitley and optional small group meetings. We will begin December 31st, 2018 and make our consecration on February 2, 2019, after the 5 pm Mass. The study will take us to the heart of Jesus through Mary by learning from four spiritual giants: St. Louis de Montfort, St. Maximilian Kolbe, St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta and Pope St. John Paul II. This user-friendly, do-it-yourself retreat will bless the busiest of people and the parishioners of St. Mary.
There is a sign-up sheet in the narthex to receive daily messages during the retreat.
