our seminarian for the summer, Adam Streitenberger, will arrive this week, and

We continue to make significant progress
toward our St. Mary’s Bishop’s Annual Appeal goals.I am really touched by everyone’s generosity!I am grateful to all who have participated,
as your contributions will help us continue the many works of St. Mary parish
and school.Again, I remind those who
have not yet pledged that since we have surpassed our diocesan goal, anything
now pledged will come back in its entirety to St. Mary’s.So, if you haven’t yet made a pledge, please

As always, I pray for the Lord’s blessing

Sincerely
in Christ Jesus,
