Please turn up your DAILY prayers for Our Holy Father!

Mark your calendars… GOOD FRIDAY (March 25th), as per Father Mark’s lead … we will go as a parish to see The Passion of the Christ.

Fast for Marriage

Hi,

Please find the attached radio spot promoting a specific fast for marriage on Good Friday. Please pass it on.

Starting, March 20th, St. Mary's Church will be asking each congregant to pick up a Divine Mercy Novena pamphlet which will have the name of a Government Official attached to it.  On Good Friday they will begin the Novena keeping in mind this individual and return the pamphlet along with the individual's name to Church on Divine Mercy Sunday, April 3rd.  They can return it at whatever Mass they will attend or at "The Great Hour of Mercy" service which will be held in the church at 3:00 p.m. that Sunday.

These names (9 Judges, 89 Senators, and 307 MPs) will then be placed at the feet of Jesus exposed in the Blessed Sacrament during the 3:00 p.m. service.

We will also promote the April 9th March for Marriage and Freedom after each of the Masses and after "The Great Hour of Mercy" 3:00 p.m. that weekend.

This is a story about four people named EVERYBODY, SOMEBODY, ANYBODY, and NOBODY.  There was an important job to be done and EVERYBODY was asked to do it.  EVERYBODY was sure that SOMEBODY would do it.  ANYBODY could have done it, but NOBODY did it.  SOMEBODY got angry about that, because it was EVERYBODY's job.  EVERYBODY thought ANYBODY could do it but NOBODY realized that EVERYBODY wouldn't do it.  It ended up that EVERYBODY blamed SOMEBODY when NOBODY did what ANYBODY could have done.

this is a story about the BODY family.  they are named EVERY, SOME, ANY & NO

we are all part of the BODY of CHRIST
