OGŁOSZENIA / ANNOUNCEMENTS

FATHER RICH REPORTS:
Chrystus Zmartwychwstal! Christ is Risen!

Dear Parishioners and friends of Saint Mary’s:

We continue the Easter Season this Sunday with the Feast of Divine Mercy. Saint John Paul II when he canonized Saint Faustina on the second Sunday of Easter in April, 2000, proclaimed henceforth that this Second Sunday would be the Feast of Divine Mercy in the universal Church. It is a great day of grace for all who seek  God’s Mercy and are reconciled through the Sacrament of Penance. I am grateful to Fathers Tom Lathigee and Roman Duszanowskyj for taking my place at this Sunday's Masses as I minister to the Polonia in Portland. Sincere thanks to all who generously contributed to the Holy Week and Easter Collection. Our Rebuilding Fund especially benefited from the donations from the Diocesan Inner-Parish Loan Fund and the Knights of Columbus Council.
