celebrates Masses of Thanksgiving throughout archdiocese

Archbishop Rivituso celebrated Masses of Thanksgiving last week at Holy Spirit Parish in Montgomery, St. Margaret of Scotland Parish in Foley and St. Ignatius Parish in Mobile as he continues to introduce himself to those in the archdiocese. Receptions were held afterward, giving the faithful an opportunity to connect with our new shepherd. Another Mass is scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 30 at St. Martin of Tours Parish, Troy.

A little charity goes

a long way

Archbishop Rivituso joined Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School students who partnered with Meals to Missions for a food packing service project Sept. 23! There was a total of 30,000 meals packaged. These will be distributed throughout the area thanks to the Heart of Alabama Food Bank and YMCA of Greater Montgomery as well as to those in Ukraine.
