Blessing for Students and teachers Hello St. Mary Magdalene,  Thanks for tuning into this week’s video with me, Fr. Chris. I’m taking a break this week from our Mass walkthrough in order to say a huge thank you to all who donated for our new sanctuary furnishings. Through your generosity we’ve fully funded every item on our wish list! I’m truly grateful for the support and look forward to seeing these pieces installed when they arrive in the first quarter of 2023.  Now is a great time to take a deep breath and revel in the beauty of our sanctuary which is only the beginning of the beauty that is to come. So thank you all for all you have done and continue to do for our parish community.  Since schools have started too, I’d like to impart a blessing to all of our students and educators at the start of this year.  Reading: Sirach 6:32-37 God bless,   Fr.

Reopening Weekend! Hello St. Mary Magdalene,  Thanks for tuning in to this week’s video with me, Fr. Chris. This weekend we are back in our full church and I’m so excited to celebrate with you all in this new space. Though the furnishings in our sanctuary are temporary, we are thrilled to have our new tabernacle here and to start using it to house the Lord. I will bless the tabernacle at the vigil Mass on Saturday (tomorrow).  With us moving back in here are a few things to know: First, the new renovations have changed the acoustics of our building. Our sound team has been working on re-balancing our mics and speaker system and will be continuing to make improvements during the coming weeks so please be patient during these adjustments. Remember that when run sound testing outside of Mass, the room isn’t occupied and it sounds different when it's empty than it does when full of people. This means that some observations and experimental balancing can only happen during Mass so thank you for bearing with us as
