Celebrate Mother Teresa with inspiring films and documentaries that follow her life of service as she sought Christ in every human life along her path to sainthood. It all leads up to the moment when Pope Francis officially declares her a saint of the Jubilee Year of Mercy on September 4, 2016.
Electronic Giving makes supporting St. Mary of the Seven Sorrows Church even easier. Pledge cards are in each pew and the back of church. Please complete the card and attach a voided check to set up automatic monthly giving through your bank account. Or if you prefer to give via credit card, you can set up monthly donations through PayPal here.
Volunteers are needed to serve as catechist aides or substitute teachers on Sunday mornings. Contact Mary Hazen for details.
Come celebrate our titular feast:

40 Days for Life: St. Mary’s parishioners will again take an active part in 40 Days for Life, the peaceful, prayerful vigil outside Planned Parenthood’s abortion center at 412 DB Todd Boulevard in Nashville. It runs Sept 28 — Nov 6 from 7 am - 6 pm daily! St. Mary’s has “adopted” Thursdays as our day to cover. So if you are able, please cover a shift on Thursdays. If Thursdays aren’t good for you, volunteer for any day of the week. If you have questions, call Marilyn at (615) 766-4119. Register for 40 Days for Life here.
Sadly, we must suspend weekly Adoration at St. Mary for the time being because of a lack of sufficient numbers of Adorers. We have promoted the need for adorers for the past couple of weeks and have not had anyone new sign up. If you have suggestions for when and how we can offer Adoration at St. Mary's on a regular basis, Fr. Neely is open to suggestions. Please send them here. Thank you.
