Dear Saint Mary Friends,

This Ash Wednesday, we begin a series of brief Lenten video reflections similar to those you received at Christmas. They are the brainchild of the Parish Pastoral Council, shepherded by them, and offered by various Parishioners. The offerings will come to you roughly one per week through Lent and Easter. I thank everyone who so diligently made these videos possible. It is our hope that these reflections will help make Lent a more fruitful time of renewal for many in the Parish.

Peace and Blessings,
Monsignor Royal


Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
Genesis 2:7

Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.
Act 3:19
