Reminder for St. Mary's Guild Members, Donors, and Volunteers

Today (Thursday, 8/13) at 2:00 PM, we'll gather in the Parish Hall to assemble the 70 food bags for FFF.

If you are donating items, please have them at the Parish Hall by 2:00 PM. If you are helping pack the bags, we'll see you then!

Thank you for sharing your time, talents, and generosity. Through this ministry, we are living out Christ's call: "For I was hungry, and you gave me food..." — Matthew 25:35

Every bag we pack is a reminder that God's love is shared not only through our words, but through our actions.

Thank you for being the hands and feet of Christ as we serve our neighbors in need. May God bless each of you for helping make this ministry possible.

Blessing of the Backpacks

As we prepare for a new school year, all students are invited to bring their backpacks to worship on Sunday, August 16, 2026, for our special Blessing of the Backpacks.

During the service, we will offer a special blessing for each child, their backpack, and the school supplies they will carry throughout the year. We pray that God will guide, protect, and encourage our students, teachers, school staff, and families as they begin another year of learning and growth.

Whether you're starting preschool, heading off to college, or anywhere in between, we hope you'll join us for this meaningful tradition as we ask God's blessings for a safe, successful, and faith-filled school year.

As Christians, we are storytellers of God’s love. From Creation to Christ—and through us—this love is meant to be shared. Just as Mary and Mary Magdalene spread the Good News, we too are called to share it with joy.

Your gifts and pledges help continue this story—feeding the hungry, offering hope, and showing God’s love in action.

Pledge faithfully. Give generously. Share joyfully.
