Respect Life Ministry Please Join St. Mary’s Respect Life Ministry as We Pray
One Thousand Hail Marys
for Peace in the Holy Land, in our country, and around the world
Saturday, December 9th Following the 9:00 AM Mass, until mid-afternoon, in the side Chapel Our Blessed Mother has promised that with prayer, there can be peace in the world. Please join us, if only for a few minutes!
Each life is precious. As Catholics, we know something many of our brothers and sisters in the Middle East do not know: the power of Our Lady’s intercession for peace, in particular through the Rosary. With so many lives lost, countless lives in turmoil, and atrocities committed against babies and people of all ages in the Holy Land, we ask that you pray particularly for peace. St. Mary’s Respect Life Ministry will hold its monthly meeting on Wednesday, November 29th, 2023, at 7:00 PM, in the St. John Paul II Room of the Parish Center. Newcomers welcome! Please consider joining us — and bring friends and family. Very often a simple invitation is enough to encourage someone to participate. We will discuss ways we can follow and implement for St. Mary’s the three important steps outlined by Bishop Barres: (1) stay informed and educated, (2) get involved, and (3) PRAY! St. Mary’s Respect Life Ministry encourages you to share in our pro-life efforts — your help is needed now more than ever!

Champions for Charity Event is this week: Thursday, November 30th - Saturday, December 2nd. Please remember to register and present your card at the time of purchase. Details may be found on page 15 of this bulletin. On November 27th, we celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal “O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to you.” The Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to a Sister of Charity, (St.) Catherine Laboure, numerous times in her convent’s chapel in Paris during 1830. Our Lady warned St. Catherine of wars to come, in 1830, and again in 1860. On November 27th, 1830, Mary appeared standing on a globe. Rays of light shone from her hands, and she explained to St. Catherine that these were the graces that would be given to anyone who asked for them. St. Catherine was shown an image, now familiar to every Catholic as the Miraculous Medal. Mary asked her to have a medal struck after a model of this image, and to spread devotion to this medal. After two years of investigation, approval was given for the medals to be struck and distributed. So many stories of healings quickly circulated that the medal soon became known as “miraculous.” The chapel, where St. Catherine experienced her visions, is located at the mother house of the Daughters of Charity in Paris. The incorrupt bodies of both St. Catherine Labouré and Saint Louise de Marrillac (a co-founder of the Congregation of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul), are interred in the chapel.
Next Saturday, December 2nd, is First Saturday. The devotion will take place after the 9:00 AM Mass. The Essential Elements of the Devotion are: 1. Go to confession (Can be within 8 days before or after the First Saturday) 2. Receive Holy Communion 3. Pray five decades of the Rosary 4. Keep Our Lady company for 15 minutes while meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary
