Altar Society
Fall Festival Water Bottle Challenge
November 4, 2018 30 days
Help the Altar Society of St. Mary Catholic Church purchase a new Nativity Scene for Christmas by taking the
"Water Bottle Challenge"
You can use your own or get one from us. Either way, you are contributing to the purchase. So how does this work? We challenge you to fill up a water bottle(s) with change (Quarters, Dimes, Nickels or Pennies) and return it to be used toward the purchase of a Nativity Scene for the altar. If you really want to challenge yourself, fill up a 2-liter Coke bottle! As always,
THANK YOU for helping us grow and become the beautiful church we are.

“SPOTLIGHT ON 40 HOUR EUCHARISTIC ADORATION:
Thanks to all who participated in our 1st 40 Hours Devotion, held Sept 21-22, 2018. We had very good participation, with multiple requests to continue these devotions quarterly, so save the date on your calendar for the next 40 Hours Devotion December 7-8, 2018.   The 40 Hours Devotion is a special 40 hour period of continuous prayer made before the Blessed Sacrament in Solemn Exposition.
We request that all parishioners participate & invite members or other parishes as well.  Remember the words of Jesus,
“Would you not watch with me for an hour?”

If Jesus were actually visible in church, everyone would run to
welcome him, but he remains hidden in the Sacred Host under the
 appearance of bread, because he is calling us to faith, that we may come to him in humility. 
"The Blessed  Sacrament is the ‘Living Heart’ of each of our churches and it is our very sweet duty to honor and adore the Blessed Host, which our eyes see, the   
Incarnate Word, whom they cannot see."
(St..Pope Paul VI, Credo of the People of God) 
"The time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the best time that you will spend on earth. Each moment that you spend with Jesus will deepen your union with Him and make your soul everlastingly more glorious and beautiful in heaven, and will help bring about an everlasting peace on earth."
 (St. Teresa of Calcutta)

Our Children’s Choir has resumed with a few new changes. First, we are extending the age of participants. Our choir was for children ages 4-12. It will now be open to children ages 4-14. We will still sing once a month at the 11:00 mass. We may have some additional performances throughout the year for some special events.  Our practices will now be on Tuesday evenings from 5:15-6:15. When we are preparing for special events we may extend the practice time. Once a child reaches the age of 15 they are welcome to sing with our Life Teen music ministry or our Sunday morning adult choirs. I am so blessed by the beautiful singers that we have and very happy that they desire to continue to share their special gifts with our parish. If you are new to our parish and would like to join any of our music ministries please contact me or just come to a scheduled practice. Thanks as always for the endless support you give to all our music endeavors!    God Bless!  Cherie
