TODAY we celebrated the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord/Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary with the Blessing of Candles, Procession and Holy Mass (in the Ordinary Form). The Parochial School children sang, and after Mass, the statue of the Infant Jesus, kept in the sanctuary since Christmas, was taken down and the faithful were invited to venerate it. The large Christmas Tree, the other Christmas decoration left up until Candlemas, was also taken down in the afternoon by the 7th grade class.

Since we are in the midst of celebrating Catholic Schools Week, the younger chidren’s balloon arrangements, part of their decorations from the opening of Catholic Schools Week, were still at the entrance to the sanctuary.

First Holy Communion at St. Mary’s, Salem

Monday, April 27th, 2009

On Divine Mercy Sunday, April 19, 2009, eleven second graders received the Lord Jesus in the Blessed Eucharist for first time. Following Mass, they were enrolled in the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (and received scapulars made for them by the Discalced Carmelite Nuns of Alexandria, SD). Father Duman concelebrated with the Pastor.

For the thired year in a row, the children received the Eucharist under two species (by intinction). This year, for the first time, they recieved at the Communion Rail (re-installed in St. Mary’s Church in September, 2008).

Special THANKS to their teachers, Mrs. Shirley Weber and Mrs. Tami Bies, and our parish Director of Religious Education, Mrs. Wanda Heumiller.

8th Annual Fairway to Heaven Golf Tournament

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

Today was the 8th Annual Fairway to Heaven Golf Tournament (and auction) to benefit tuition assistance for students at St. Mary Parochial School. The weather in Salem was superb, and a good time was had by all who attended. In fact, as I write this, the auction is still going on at the McCook County Country Club. After the weekend, I will post the amount raised. Here are a few photos from the day:
