BIRTHDAYS AND ANNIVERSARIES
We encourage you to request a Holy Mass on your birthday and/or anniversary. Please send your mass request at the beginning of the month to the office. On the LAST SUNDAY of each month, those who celebrated their birthday and/or anniversary during the month, will be called to the altar to receive a blessing and immediately afterwards, we will fellowship and enjoy light refreshments in the hall.
LET EVERYTHING PRAISE THE LORD
To make our worship of God livelier, Fr. Francis is appealing for donations of guitars, tambourines, xylophones, saxophones and musical drums. If God touches your heart to donate any, please do so. May God Bless you!
ACM - APPEAL FOR CATHOLIC MINISTRIES
Our ACM goal for 2026 is $26,527.00
In this year of ACM, we are urging all of the parishioners of Our Mother of Mercy to make a pledge so that we, the Catholic Church, can make a difference in the lives of people throughout the 9 counties of our diocese and right here in our Parish and our neighbors. If you have already made your commitment, THANK YOU! If you have not, please pick up an ACM envelope in the rear of the church.
VISITORS ARE WELCOME HERE
You are always welcome to our parish. If you are a visitor, please indicate by a wave of your hand to be acknowledged. We are glad you have chosen to worship with us and welcome you into our midst, and pray that God may bless you. Our ushers will have a welcoming package for you at the end of mass.
