This week in our homily series titled "Undefeated: Winning Over Temptation" we are talking about the temptation of refusing to see, to want to remain blind. Sometimes we think it’s easier to remain in the dark than for us to heal and/or change. Sometimes in order for us to heal we have to be able to forgive.

What do we want you to know this week?

We are forgiven so that we can become agents of forgiveness.

What do we want you to do?

Pray the prayer, “Come Holy Spirit, heal me.”

We will also have the opportunity available for you to pray with our prayer teams in the church after all the Masses. If you have never had anyone pray with you and for you, it can be a powerful experience. We invite anyone needing prayer to come and receive prayer!

In case you missed it, attached is the PDF file with announcement given last weekend at all the Masses about the church rebuilding project.

Your feedback is always appreciated to help us further our mission at Saint Mary Catholic Church.

Protecting children, youths, and vulnerable adults is of the highest importance at Saint Mary, and in all parishes and Catholic schools throughout our diocese. All clergy, employees and volunteers who work with children or vulnerable adults in our diocese must pass a Level II background check, complete all required Safe Environment training courses, and adhere strictly to our Code of Conduct policies. Our diocese has also appointed Victim Assistance Coordinators. These experienced and trained counselors are available to help persons who have been sexually abused by a priest, deacon, or other church personnel. You may contact one of the following: Louis M.
