The Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God

News and Notes:  Join us for the annual Epiphany Pageant in both parishes next Sunday, January 8 following the 9AM Mass at OLA and the 10AM Mass at SMG.  Here is prayer of blessing as we begin 2017:

May God, the source and origin of all blessing, grant you grace, pour out his blessing in abundance, and keep you safe from harm throughout the year.

May he give you integrity in the faith, endurance in hope, and perseverance in charity with holy patience to the end.

May he order your days and your deeds in his peace, grant your prayers in this and every place, and lead you happily to eternal life.  Amen. 

A happy, healthy, holy 2017 to all of you!
