Definitely
Worth Watching!
Here are two excellent videos, each just a few minutes long and each definitely worth your time to watch! Whether you are Catholic, protestant, or muslim - you will be grateful to have heard the ideas so well expressed in each of these videos:
First, a question for your protestant family members and friends:
► "Who Founded Your Church?"
And a fascinating insight into how the Koran led a muslim to become a disciple of Jesus:
► "From Islam to Christianity"
Be sure to share these!

October 13, 2018 marks the day of the last of the 6 Apparitions of Fatima in 1917. Since October is the month of the Rosary – and to kick off the Diocesan Year of Prayer – St. Mary’s is sponsoring a Rosary Run. Come out and join us on Saturday, October 13th, at 9:00 am in front of the church to pray the Rosary while walking/running a mapped circuit. You can participate in three different groups: one to pray the Rosary in the church; another to walk while saying the Rosary outside in the mapped area; and the third to jog or run the mapped area. Each group will have a leader that will recite the rosary out loud. The Rosary Run is approximately 2.5 miles. Please dress according to the weather and wear good shoes. Rosaries and bottled water will be available. Cider and donuts will be served after the Run. Kids are encouraged to join in. Let’s come together to pray the rosary, enjoy God’s creations, and relish the exercise!

Sanctuary lamps burn in Catholic churches to remind us of Jesus' Real Presence in the Tabernacle of our church. At St. Mary's, we also may request there be a special prayer intention associated with a sanctuary lamp. In the second chapter of Mark's Gospel we hear the story of the paralytic. It concludes: "[The friends of the paralytic] let down the mat on which the paralytic was lying. When Jesus saw their [i.e. the friends] faith, He said to the paralytic, 'Child, your sins are forgiven.' Click here for the special intentions associated with the sanctuary lamps this week… -
