St. Mary's Assumption

We the Parishioners of St. Mary's of Assumption Parish, Bronson, acknowledge the mission of Christ on earth and know that our aim is to have God working through us.  As a Christian community, we respond to the call of Jesus Christ to love each other as Jesus loves us and to celebrate the Eucharist, so as to be strengthened to accept the responsibility to serve rather than be served.  Together we are committed to the spiritual, physical and educational welfare of those of our parish family and beyond.

Dear Parishioners,

 This weekend we welcome Bishop Bradley to St. Mary’s for Confirmation. Candidates from both St. Mary’s and St. Charles will receive the Sacrament this weekend. Thank you for your prayers for these students as they have prepared for this Sacrament. This will also be the first time I remember that I had to miss Confirmation at one of my parishes. I will be in Illinois this weekend for a family celebration. My cousin, Sr. Francella Vyverman OP, will be celebrating 60 years of Profession as a Dominican nun. I will be joining members of my family for this celebration.

Our Deacon Jim will be having surgery this coming week and we will be out for several weeks. Please keep him in your prayers that he will have a successful surgery and recovery.

We find ourselves several weeks into the 2019 Bishop’s Annual Appeal. Thank you to everyone that has pledged. I have made my pledge to this appeal and I once again ask you to prayerfully consider a pledge to support the work and ministry of the Church throughout our diocese. If you can’t pledge this year, please indicate this on your pledge card or envelope. Even if you can’t help this year, your prayers will also help our parishes to reach our goals for the year. But we need to hear from everyone to make this appeal a success! 
 
Thanks for Reading!

Fr. Mark
