Centennial Mass

On Sunday, February 5th, 2012, at 2:00 p.m., the parish will celebrate its 100th anniversary with a special Mass. Archbishop Robert Carlson, Archbishop of Saint Louis, will preside at this Mass as well as current clergy and religious along with former pastors/associate pastors/priests in residence/and former religious in residence. 2 choirs,the Saint Mary Magdalen Choir and the Young Catholic Musicians, will provide music for this Mass. All are most welcome. I am thinking that with the size of this event on a local level and an Archdiocesan level, parking and seating in the Church may be at a premium. I would ask 2 things of everyone: Please be patient about parking and seating Please come prepared for a full house. Following the Mass will be a reception in the gymnasium. I know that this is also Super Bowl Sunday. I’m hoping that with the Mass and reception, all can be home by the time the game starts. Catholic Schools’ Week: Catholic Schools’ Week begins Sunday, January 29th, with a school open house and festivities continue all week; I will write more about this next weekend. The 5th grade day school and PSR communities will minister at the Family Mass on January 29th at the 9:30 a.m. Mass; thanks to Nancy Shroff and the 5th grade parents for supporting this special Mass.
