MONTH OF MERCY The month of September is a very exciting and important month of celebration within our parish as we celebrate the Month of Mercy! The focus of the month is on our devotion to the Blessed Mother under the title of Our Lady of Mercy and to grow as a parish and community through prayer, service, and fellowship. During the month of September, we will celebrate four Marian feast days, all of which we encourage you to attend. It is important for us to commemorate these special days due to the role Mary has in our salvation. She models for us how God can use us as instruments to bring about His Kingdom. In addition to the Feast Day celebrations, we will offer a few additional opportunities for SPIRITUAL GROWTH and FORMATION through our Stewardship of Ministry campaign. With prayerful consideration, we ask that you consider participating in these opportunities. Lastly, on the weekend of September 9th & 10th the second collection will benefit the Woman s New Life Center, our service partner, for the purchase of new ultrasound equipment.

Memorial Gifts At the death of a loved one, many choose in lieu of flowers to encourage friends and family to make a donation to a special charity or cause. Our Lady of Mercy has nourished the spiritual life of so many parishioners and those throughout the Diocese who come here. A Memorial Gift to our Traditions for Tomorrow Building Campaign is a wonderful way to acknowledge the lives of our beloved dead with a gift of loving generosity to the church that has been such a spiritual home. Ms. Deanie Smith can discuss ways for you to remember your loved one. Consider adding a planned gift in your last will and testament to remember Our Lady of Mercy.
