Just a couple of news items:
As many of you know, this weekend we had two Christmas parties: the CCD Christmas party, which was after the 8:30 am mass, and the Church-wide Christmas party, which was after the 11:30 am mass. Both were very well attended. The basement was packed to the gills and there was delicious food everywhere. It was fun celebrating and even watching The Sound of Music together. (And those homemade sauerkraut and potato pirogies were soooo good.)
The Angel mass was a great success. It was concelebrated by three priests and there was an amazing and delicious reception that followed. Thanks to all the women who cooked!
Please continue to pray for Bishop Galante. He needs our prayer. Please pray for nothing short of a total conversion. May he turn toward God. Mass is again being offered for him on Christmas day, as requested by James Stephenson.
The Christmas Bazaar on Dec. 6 went well. Thanks to everyone for your hard work.
Coming up:
On Monday January 5th there will be a Save St. Mary's meeting at 6:30pm in the church basement. If you cannot attend but would like to help please contact Leah at 856-692-0222 or Kevin at 856-694-2748. No matter what happens, we will not stop defending the Truth, which is the One True Church, against nothing less than the onslaught of evil! Join us.
