28th Sunday in Ordinary Time

The Word of God is powerful enough

to cleanse us of sickness and sin.

The first reading and the Gospel show us mi-raculous cures from the terrible disease of lep-rosy. Through faith and trust, those who were sick listened to and followed the direction of their healers and regained their lives and standing in the community. Nothing is beyond God’s capabilities, including forgiving our most shocking sins.

150TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS

150th Anniversary Prayer Lord God, Creator of all things,

You planted a Seed of Faith 150 years ago, that grew a garden called Maternity

of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish. With grateful hearts, we turn to You and pray that You continue to bless,

nurture and cultivate that which You have begun. We ask this

through Christ our Lord. Amen.

On October 2, the Old Church re-opened after being closed for two years for repairs. The opening marked the 150th Anniversary of the founding of our Parish. This Anniversary Mass was concelebrated by Fr. Quinter, Fr. Mark and Fr. Joseph, assisted by Deacon Lindsay and Deacon Bernauer. Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament followed Mass, with Adoration throughout the day until the Rosary and Clos-ing Benediction. This indeed was the very best way to begin our 150th Anniversary Year!
