Help for Those with

Hearing Loss St. Mary Parish has purchased three Listen Display Receivers which have been tied to the Church’s sound system. By plugging in a set of earphones, ear buds or head phones, a parishioner will get assistance to hear what is going on in the Mass. The devices will be available to be checked out for use before each Mass and would need to be returned at the conclusion of Mass. Anyone wishing to check out a receiver must sign up ahead of time in the Parish Office. Due to the cost of each receiver, only a limited number are available so they will be handed out at each Mass on a first come first serve basis. Anyone wishing to contribute to the purchase of more receivers should contact Marybeth in the Parish Office, 541-342-1139.

Thank you to the Dolecheks who made a donation to purchase additional hearing devices for the parish,

in memory of their daughter Danielle Dolechek.

THANK YOU for adding St. Mary to your

† iii domingo del Tiempo ordinario †

Jn 1, 29-34

En aquel tiempo, vio Juan el Bautista a Jesús, que venía hacia él, y exclamó: “Este es el Cordero de Dios, el que quita el pecado del mundo. Este es aquel de quien yo he dicho: ‘El que viene después de mí, tiene precedencia sobre mí, porque ya existía antes que yo’. Yo no lo conocía, pero he venido a bautizar con agua, para que él sea dado a conocer a Israel”.

Entonces Juan dio este testimonio: “Vi al Espíritu descender del cielo en forma de paloma y posarse sobre él. Yo no lo conocía, pero el que me envió a bautizar con agua me dijo: ‘Aquel sobre quien veas que baja y se posa el Espíritu Santo, ése es el que ha de bautizar con el Espíritu Santo’. Pues bien, yo lo vi y doy testimonio de que éste es el Hijo de Dios”.
