Change in Choir Rehearsal Schedule
Newcomers Welcome!
Effective immediately, the St. Mary’s choir will only be rehearsing each week at 5pm on Sundays before the 6:00pm Mass. If the time commitment on Wednesday nights has kept you away, come and join us now! Every one of us has the natural gift of singing that God has given us. Don’t keep it to yourself! Come to choir and we’ll help you develop that gift so you can share it in order to help beautify the liturgy!
 
Nun Run 2010—Spring Break
If you are a single CMU woman, you are invited to join us for our annual Spring Break “Nun Run” March 6-12.  The Nun Run provides an opportunity for young single women to learn more about women’s religious life. We will visit three or four communities where we will participate in the daily life of the convent, praying with the sisters and learning about their way of life.  Contact Fr. Will for more information.
 
World Youth Day 2011 Pilgrimage—Madrid, Spain!
St. Mary’s will join 2,000,000 Catholic young adults from around the world in Madrid, 15-21 August 2011, to celebrate faith and grow in our love of Christ.  Pope Benedict will meet with young adults that week, and celebrate a final Papal Mass on the 21st with an estimated 3,000,000 people.  Our pilgrimage will go 1-22 August.
 
Preparations for our pilgrimage begin this summer.  There will be an information gathering in our lounge following the 6pm Mass on January 31 to offer a presentation on World Youth Day and to answer your questions.  Sign up now to get on an email information list by contacting Fr. Will at will.prospero@stmarycmu.org.
