Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Ceremony

The Diocese of Lafayette annually recognizes individuals who have ex-emplified the characteristics and he-roic virtues of Rev. King. This year,

St. Mary Magdalen nominated Marcelo and Kelli Da-vis for their service to our Abbeville Community at the Christian Service Center. They accepted the award on behalf of the many people who serve the Abbeville community at the Christian Service Center with courage and other Godly virtues. We congratu-late them and encourage them to continue to strive to "Feed the Body, Mind and Spirit with Love."

Join us for Children’s Church at 9:00A.M. Mass Weekly.

Pancake Brunch and CSC Kitchen Remodel January 28th

The Rotary Club of Abbeville will soon begin the third phase of the CSC Kitchen remodeling on Janu-ary 28th. The Rotarians will improve the interior of the kitchen, which will include a new layout, new bathrooms, more efficient kitchen equipment, new paint and an overall better place to provide lunch for

those in need. Also, thanks to SMM pa-rishioner Kent Dold. The CSC will have a Pancake Brunch for volunteers and members of the communi-ty. Kent recently heard of the new renovations taking place at the Christian Ser-vice Center and offered to

make pancakes for the Rotary Club and for the community. He will be using his brand new industri-al size pancake maker, which can produce up to 500 pancakes an hour! He hopes to use it to help non-profits with fundraising. The CSC Team would love for St. Mary Magdalen to join in on the Pan-cake Brunch on January 28th at 11am. The Christian Service Center plans to have a Grand Opening of the new Kitchen, once it is complete. The time and date will be announced in the coming weeks.
