REJOICE AND BE GLAD

“This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad” (Psalm 118:24). Let

us remember that these words of today’s responsorial psalm are not only sung from the

hearts of those gathered in our parish. They are also sung by the poor in tiny barrios

throughout Central and South America. They are sung by those denied religious freedom

in our world; these Christians lift their voices in clandestine places of worship. These

words are sung by people who have lost loved ones to acts of terrorism and war around

the globe. Even in the midst of conflict and division, Christians still come together to

declare that poverty, loneliness, violence, and division will never, ever have as much

power as the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Indeed, let us rejoice this day

and be glad!

JOIN US IN CELEBRATING DIVINE MERCY SUNDAY

MULTI-MARRIAGE CELEBRATION

St. Martin Parish is planning a multi-marriage celebration.

This is an opportunity for couples who want to marry in the

church to do so. The parish will help you with paperwork

and preparation needed for the marriage. We will also

help prepare the celebration. The mass fees will be taken

care of as well as the music and flowers for the wedding

mass. A reception will be offered for you and your

immediate family in the hall. We will provide a wedding

cake for each couple, decorations for the hall, the wedding

reception meal and DJ music for the wedding dance.

Please call the parish office at 592-4602 if you are interested. The wedding will take

place December 23, 2017. We need time to prepare all paperwork so the earlier we

can start the preparation the better.
