Dear Parish Family, WELCOME BACK! I sincerely welcome back all of our parishioners and friends who are physically with us today and to all those joining us virtually during this green restricted phase. If there is anything I can do for you, please do not hesitate to contact me by phone or email. Please be assured of my love and prayers for each of you!

PERPETUAL ADORATION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT: Good News! This weekend we have resumed Perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in our Divine Mercy Chapel. I am truly grateful to all of our parishioners and friends who are scheduled adorers and those who are substitutes for this graced ministry. During

this restricted phase of COVID, the Adoration Chapel is reserved for SCHEDULED ADORERS ONLY! If you feel called by God to become a scheduled adorer or a substitute, please contact MaryKatherine Bushey, Coordinator of Perpetual Adoration. Please be aware that our main Church will be open during the day for visits to the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PARISH: Thank you very kindly for all you do for our parish. I am humbled and grateful. Unfortunately, we are still falling behind in our

Sunday collections due to the pandemic. I am always grateful for all you do for this great community of faith. Parish Giving is a useful option and safe to use. Many parishioners are using this option for their Sunday Offering because they realize how important it is to keep the parish financially stable. I hope you also choose this use of Electronic Funds Transfer for your offering. Please call Sandi at the Parish Office Center and she will gladly assist you.

BONANZA RAFFLE: If you are able, will you kindly take a chance and purchase and/or sell a Bonanza Raffle ticket for the parish? Each ticket costs $100. Top Prize: $10,000.00,

Second Prize: $5,000.00, Third Prize: $2,500.00. There will also be seller prizes for each category. There is a NEW SCHEDULED DATE FOR THE RAFFLE to be drawn. The Bonanza Raffle will be drawn on Saturday, October 24 after the Saturday afternoon Mass. The Raffle will be drawn outdoors by our new patio adjacent to the Parish Office Center. Thank you very much for your participation. You can drop your ticket stub and its donation in the Sunday collection marked: "Bonanza Raffle" or mail it to the Parish Office Center.

A LEGACY OF FAITH; CELEBRATING 100 YEARS: Thank you very much for your kind generosity towards our Capital Campaign. If you are able, we are requesting a few more donations to help us reach our goal of $2M. Whatever gift, small or large, is a gift to God and His Church. It

is truly a blessing! SAINT MARY FEAST: Our traditional Saint Mary Feast will continue this year, however, it will be modified due to COVID-19. Our Feast Celebration will be held on the second weekend of September. We will certainly send out information of times and location of events. Check out

our website so you may know what is going on here at Saint Mary Parish. Have a nice week, everyone!

Love and prayers,

PICK OF THE WEEK

Mary: The Mother of God

Watch on Formed.org

She was a humble girl from an ordinary Jewish family.

Yet Mary said a simple “yes” and came to be exalted as

the Daughter of Zion, the Mother of God, and the Queen

of Heaven. This study allows us to follow the dusty paths

that took Mary to the heart of the salvation story, and will

bring you to know and love her Son even more.

Registering is easy - just go to saintmaryrcc.formed.org,

information. Questions on how to use this service?
