Our
Lady's Messengers is one of the newest ministries in St. Patrick
Parish. It has blossomed so our faith community has yet another way
to honor our Blessed Mother throughout the year, while educating and
reminding our parishioners as to the importance of Mary's messages.
Although
the ministry is just forming, the organizers sponsored a meeting in
October so members of our parish could learn more about the meaning of
Fatima. This is the type of gathering the ministry will sponsor in
order to promote the Church-approved messages of Our Lady. Meetings
will be in conjunction with days honoring Mary, such as the upcoming feast
of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Some sessions will have guest speakers.
Our
Lady's Messengers will be promoting the Monday night recitation of the
Rosary at our church and faithful observance of the First Five Saturday
Devotions. Discussion of future activities includes having the
Rosary said in private homes on a revolving basis, with a Pilgrim Statue
of Our Blessed Mother.
This
ministry is seeking people who will share in planning and presenting
activities to honor Mary on her special days. Please contact Richard
Pia at (610) 444-2858 or Susan Hammaker at (610) 388-6334 for information,
or to become a leader in this ministry.
