The Assumption of Our Lady Into Heaven Hello St. Mary Magdalene,  Thursday August 15th is the solemnity and holy day of obligation where we celebrate the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven. This feast is a reminder for us of our final hope, to be united body and soul into Heaven with Jesus.  Also, our new mosaics are in! They are a phoenix and a pelican. The phoenix is situated over the ambo due to its connection with resurrection. St. Paul speaks in 1 Thessalonians 4:17 about how we will, at a word of command from Christ rise to meet Him when He comes again at the end of days. The pelican, situated over the presider's chair is an image of the Eucharist. Depicted on the mosaic is a mother pelican plucking the meat from her own chest in order to feed her young, giving her life to save theirs. This is exactly what Christ does for us in the Eucharist, giving us His Body and Blood so that we might have life! The meaning for both the phoenix and the pelican are actually handed down to us from the ea

Happy Feast of St. Mary Magdalene! Hello St. Mary Magdalene,  Thanks for tuning into this week’s video with me, Fr. Chris. There’s a lot going on this weekend as we are celebrating our patronal feast day this weekend so you’ll hear some beautiful prayers during the Mass centering on Mary Magdalene and her role as the “Apostle to the Apostles” as the Church refers to her. She is given this title because, as the first person to see Christ Resurrected from the dead, she is sent to the Apostles to proclaim the Good News. In Greek, the language in which the New Testament was written, Apostle comes from “Apostelos” which means “to be sent” so, she, as the “Apostle to the Apostles” can literally mean “the one sent to the ones who are sent.” This same Greek root is the origin of the term “apostolate” meaning the area in which we’re sent to bring the Gospel. How blessed then, that we, spiritual sons and daughters of St. Mary Magdalene rejoice in her being the first person to see the Risen Lord. This patronage too is c
