Dedicated to the Living Stones who have gone before us and helped us to become who we are today. We are the Living Stones for those who will come after us. “You too are living stones, built as an edifice of spirit, into a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ”
I Peter 2:5.
This is a beginning document of our parish family story. Hopefully, more and more memories will be added as time goes on. Like most family stories, various members remember different details of specific events and place different degrees of importance on them. So it will most likely be with our parish family story. Do you have memories, artifacts, or pictures to share? Please contact Pastoral Associate
Sr. Mary Catherine Fodrocy O.P. (269) 343-6256, ext 108 or srmaryc@tds.net.
