Dear Friends of St. Mary,
Happy New Year of 2021! I hope that your new year is off to a good start and that this will be a year of good health, deep peace and many blessings for all of you.
Things are busy here at Saint Mary. We will have our special Confirmation Mass on January 24, and 43 people will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. Many of our young people will receive their First Communion at the same Mass. Please pray for them on their important day. Come, Holy Spirit.
This weekend we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord. We will renew our baptismal promises at all of the Masses, affirming our faith in Christ Jesus and rejecting the devil. Jesus is Lord, and through our Baptism we belong to Him!
Finally, Pope Francis has named this the Year of Saint Joseph. Our school children are involved in an art project and contest focused on Saint Joseph. Our parishioners are encouraged to participate in the Consecration to Saint Joseph spiritual program. If you are interested, please call Alfie Rael in the parish office. In addition, we are lighting the candles on the altar of Saint Joseph at every Mass during his year. Saint Joseph is a great model and intercessor. May he pray for all of us to grow in the imitation of Christ.
God bless you, and know that I remember you in my daily prayers and Masses. Have a great weekend.
Father Jim Goggins
