Two Anointing Masses This Week

This week, Mass with the Rite of Anointing of the Sick will be held on Wednesday at 12noon and Saturday at 9am.  The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick may be received by anyone over the age of 65 every 6 months, or anyone who is suffering from an illness.  In the case of a Mass, the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is celebrated immediately after the homily.

Dear Folks
If you are reading this over a cup of coffee at Metro diner, then thank you for participating in our Parish Life Weekend.  (And for all of you who read the bulletin during Mass ….  you have no excuse for not stopping on the way out this morning).
As has become a tradition, purely  for your entertainment, and knowing that I have no future career as a comedian, here are this year’s top excuses given for not signing up for a ministry today:


“I am busy playing replays of the Capitals Stanley Cup run!.” (Finally a winner in town).

“I was busy with Snapchat, what did you say?”

“I parked on Stafford Avenue so I can escape.”

“I only sign up for Costco samples.”

“When the going gets tough, I forget the rest.”

“My Fortnite squad needs me.”

“I tried to join the Movie Ministry.”

“I have to run a napping marathon.”

“I helped last year… and need to recover.”

“If I exceed my goals, I’ll only have to work harder in the future.”

with a smile,
Fr. Mosimann

Parish Life Weekend September 29-30!

Parish Life Weekend September 29-30!

Join us after every Mass this weekend at our Ministry Fair for Parish Life Weekend!  Parish Life Weekend is an opportunity to meet with a representative from the many different ministries our parish has to offer and discuss ways you could get involved.  There’s plenty of opportunities to become an active member in the life of your local church here at St Mary, whether you don’t have much free time or are looking to fill up some empty dates on your calendar.  So stop by after Mass and see if you feel called to any particular group, whether it’s volunteering at the Cold Weather Shelter, helping out in our Youth Ministry, or just signing up for an hour of Adoration!  God is calling you to something, come on by and see if it’s here at one of our ministries!

Attached below is our Ministry Catalogue that has been mailed to all the families in the parish.  Feel free to pass it on to anyone you know who may be looking to get involved!
