Reflection

“He said, “Come.” Peter got out of the boat and began to walk on the water toward Jesus.” (Matthew 14:29) When you hear Jesus calling, do you respond immediately and trust that He knows what He’s doing? If so, you are walking on water! When we say “yes” to Jesus, we feel the power of His presence in our lives. We can feel the freedom it gives us! Listen to how Jesus is calling you to live the extraordinary life He has intended for you.

Greeters and Cleaners for Sunday Masses

As we begin the month of August and the last weeks of summer in this most unusual of years, we are seeing a few more people returning to Mass each week. Public Masses have been celebrated since the end of May here at St. Mary's. We have had a dedicated, but small "crew" of parish volunteers who have helped with greeting parishioners arriving for Mass and wiping down the pews, etc. after Mass.

Greeters arrive 15 minutes before Mass to welcome parishioners and help them to find a seat if necessary. It takes about 10-15 minutes after Mass for a few people to wipe down the pews and prepare for the next Mass.

We would greatly appreciate it if those of you who are planning to come to Mass in the coming weeks would sign-up to help out before or after one of the Masses. One of the experienced volunteers will be happy to show you what you can do.
