September 8th - BIrth of Mary

Today as Church we celebrate a special Lady - the Birth of Mary. We would also like to highlight two special ladies at St Mary's and Missions.

+Josephine Karwoski, also known as Aunt Josie, the auntie of our our Fr Michael Zielke, died almost two years ago. After her death her family wanted to memorialize their mom and made a donation to the Mission of vestments and a beautiful statue of the Blessed Mother. The journey of the statue is a novel in itself, but today we'd like to show you the beautiful statue and remember +Aunt Josie, a friend of the Mission, and a lady who had a great love and devotion to Our Lady. [l to r: Sr Mary Catherine, Mother Marcia and Sr Naomi)

Also today, Ms Rose Marriott, a faithful member of St Mary's, and life long resident of Above Rocks, marks a milestone... her 80th birthday. On Sunday afternoon her four children from local and foreign (Cayman Islands) pulled off a surprise 80th party for Miss Rose in our newly completed auditorium. After the 11am Mass all were invited to the auditorium for a delicious buffet and birthday cake. [l to r: Br Michael, Fr Michael, Sr Naomi, Miss Rose, Mother Marcia and Fr Brad]

Special Ladies in the life of the Mission who we remember today on the Birth of Mary.
