Twenty-Fifth Sunday In Ordinary Time

Welcome to St. Mary of the Rockies and welcome to all of our visitors.  

Save the date of November 2nd, 5:00pm for the annual chili-cook off and silent auction.  If you plan to donate an item for the silent auction or enter your chili for the cook-off it is important for planning purposes that you sign up on the sheets at the church doors.
 

Pentecost Sunday

Welcome to St. Mary of the Rockies and a special welcome to all of our visitors.  
Father Bogdan will be away May 20th through June 14th.  There will be no weekday morning Masses during this time.  Weekend Masses and Saturday confessions will be held as usual.  
At next weekend’s Masses, May 25th and 26th we will be visted by missionary Sister Stan Terese Mario Mumni and Father Lawrence Azure for Missionary Sunday.  

Sister Stan Terese Mario Mumuni is the Congregational Leader of Marian Sisters of Eucharistic Love (MASAL) and founder of Nazareth Home for God's Children Orphanage in Ghana, West Africa. Their mission is to curtail the inhumane practices perpetuated on the alleged "Spirit Children" of Northern Ghana. She saves these children who are born with defects or whose parent/s have died and are labeled "evil". These children are condemned to death. Sister Stan took in the first children in 2009. Some of these older residents are approaching the age of 18 and by law cannot stay in the orphanage. Many of the children are severely mentally or physically disabled and cannot be without supervision to live on their own. MASAL has built the foundation and walls for a new home for these residents. She desperately needs your help to complete the roof and interior work to provide a safe home for these needy "forever" children. Please help.

Rev. Fr. Lawrence Azure is a parish pastor and the Vicar General of the Diocese of Bolgatanga, Ghana, West Africa will be presiding at the Masses and will present the appeal on behalf of Sr. Stan.  A second collection will be taken in support of this missionary appeal.
