St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church

St. Mary Magdalen Parish and St. Jerome Parish are pleased to announce that 57 Candidates will be confirmed in the Holy Spirit by the Most Reverend Alfred Hughes, Archbishop Emeritius on Wednesday, April 25, 2018. Their time of preparation included learning about the sacrament of Confirmation, witnessing to their faith in service projects, participating in the sacrament of Reconciliation, and taking part in a day of retreat. We congratulate them for taking this step in their faith journey and we pledge to support them with our prayers, encouragement, and Christian example.
 

INTRODUCTION TO EVANGELIZATION

The Mission is ME!

We believe that faith shared is faith strengthened! The challenges of our culture point out that NOW is an evangelizing moment; NOW is the time for Catholic Christians to proclaim the Lord Jesus with renewed conviction and fervor! Pope Francis  calls all of us to be “Missionary Disciples”. The task of Evangelization belongs to everyone! So how can this be accomplished? All are invited to a special parish presentation on Thursday, April 26 at 7PM in the Chapel by Very Rev. David G. Caron, OP, Archdiocesan Office of Evangelization.

Mark your calendar for our Parish Fundraiser! Our 2018 Seafood Festival is on October 5, 6 & 7. Planning is now underway and we are having a General Festival Meeting on Wednesday, May 9 at 7:00 pm in Massett Hall. Please join us in planning this event!

All boys and girls who are completing the 3^rd grade or higher are invited to join the SMM Altar Server Ministry.  New servers MUST pre-register and attend a special training session on Saturday, May 19.  For more info or to receive a registration packet call 733-8980 or email: ssullivan@smm.nocoxmail.com

You may now donate online!!!  Use this new feature for the regular weekly collection, Building & Maintenance Fund and Capital Campaign Fund.  Other special collections must be made during Mass.  Donate here!

Greetings & Welcome!

I am grateful if you are already a parishioner or if you are considering joining our parish. St. Mary Magdalen is an incredible place and I have greatly enjoyed working here since my arrival!

Led by the Holy Spirit, we are currently in the process of reimaging our parish; in essence, doing everything we can to provide a spiritual home for all interested.  We want and need you to join us so that you are encouraged to take your faith seriously, live your faith daily and share that faith with others - inviting them to join our parish.  We certainly have room to grow in this overall process, but we also welcome you to help us to become the best parish we can be.  I invite you to share your gifts and talents with us so that we can all truly live God’s desire for Christian charity and community.  THAT is the easiest way and the true meaning of evangelization.

I would love to get to know you better, so please contact me at the rectory office to set up an appointment.  May God bless you and yours!

Your friend in Christ Jesus Our Lord,

Fr. Chris DeLerno, Pastor
