Assumption and Maximilan Kolbe Hello St. Mary Magdalene, Happy Sunday and feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary! We also though celebrate St. Maximilian Kolbe on Saturday August 14th. He's a saint with a fantastic story of heroic, self-sacrificial love in the midst of great evil. Trading his life for another man in Auschwitz, Kolbe is a great example of devotion to the Blessed Mother and of the power of mercy to overcome evil! The man who Kolbe saved would survive the war and would be reunited with his family. Have a great week and God bless you, Fr.

Saint Mary Magdalene Feast Day 2021 Hello St. Mary Magdalene, It's good to be back with you. Thank you for your prayers while I was away. This week we celebrated our patronal feast day on Thursday the 22nd! In our readings for her celebration we see St. Mary Magdalene run to the empty tomb and there she encounters the Risen Lord. After this encounter though she goes forth and tells the Apostles the Good News. There's a beautiful challenge for us in this, to whom do we need to proclaim the Gospel, the Good News that Christ has risen and lives forever? Let's honor our patroness by witnessing and proclaiming the Resurrection in thought, word, and deed! God bless, Fr.

Hello St. Mary Magdalene, Today's video reflects on the solemnity of the Nativity of John the Baptist and the challenge his famous words, "I must decrease so that He [Christ] might increase." The challenge this offers then is to think about in what ways we need to decrease so that the Lord may increase in our lives? Perhaps there are habits or some struggle in our life that we need help setting aside for the sake of Christ? St. John the Baptist, help us die to ourselves, decreasing ourselves so that Christ might increase! St. John the Baptist, pray for us. St. Mary Magdalene, pray for us. God bless, Fr.

Hello St. Mary Magdalene, Get to know Miguel 2, aka Miguel Soto, the second seminarian assigned to our parish this summer. Sorry this video is so long but he's got a great vocation story that I pray will help inspire us all to seek the Lord in all things! Miguel (both of them) will be with us until the end of July and would be delighted to speak with you so please come say hello. Also, in other news, beginning July 1, 2021 the dispensation from Sunday Mass attendance is being lift. This is great news because it means that we've progressed enough that we can all begin to gather again and worship Christ in the Eucharist through the Mass! I'll have a video in the weeks to come going into more detail about this exciting news. God bless, Fr. Chris Visit us: www.smarymag.org Donate online: https://membership.faithdirect.net/AZ754
