A Message from Fr. Larry Jurcak

It is my intention to form a “Eucharistic Revival Committee” at Saint Mary, comprised of staff members, representatives of parish groups, and five parishioners “at large,” to plan the celebration of this “Year of Parish Revival” at Saint Mary. The “Eucharistic Revival Committee” will meet for five Mondays from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. beginning February 27 through March 27. After that initial formation period, this Committee will meet on the second Monday of the month from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m.

Would you like to be given consideration as one of the five “at large” parishioner members of this Committee?

If so, and you are able to attend all five of the initial formation meetings, I ask that you email (khiggins@stmaryhudson.cc) or send a letter to me in an envelope clearly marked “Eucharistic Revival Committee” indicating your desire. In that email or letter, you are asked to please include a 250-to-300-word essay addressing this question, “What is it that motivates you to be part of our parish’s response to the Eucharistic Revival and light our parish community on fire with love for Jesus?” The deadline for letting me know of your interest in being a member of this Committee is Friday, February 10.

Children's Liturgy of the Word will take place on Sunday, January 29 at the 9:30 a.m. Mass. Children ages 4-9 are welcome to attend.
