Monthly Themes
78 Years!
As we celebrate the February Theme of Marriage during our 100th year, we would like to honor two parishioners of St. Mary Magdalen and St. Conrad Parishes.
Andy and Dolores Podczervinski have been married for 78 beautiful years. They were married on November 28, 1947. When asked what the secret is to such a long marriage, Andy’s answer was “Just say yes”. We ask God to bless the both of them and their life together.
Spouse Prayer
Vow Renewal
Thank you and God’s blessings on all the couples who renewed their marriage vows.
It was wonderful to see all of them gather around the altar. It was good to see so many in the gathering area and enjoying the goodies provided by the Fellowship Committee.
Game Day!
The 100th Anniversary Committee is in search of pictures of our parish activities.
In the upcoming months, we will be featuring sports teams, volunteer groups, sacraments and school activities. If you have any pictures you would like to share, please bring them to the parish office with your name and address on them, and we will use them in future displays!

Join us for a day of family fun in the Parish Hall. Bring your own games or use one of ours. Light lunch, snack items and beverages will be provided.

School children were offered a chance to play in CYO leagues of softball, baseball, basketball, football, volleyball and cheerleading. Our summer program offered softball for athletes from T-ball to adult games. Our March display in the gathering area of the church includes trophies won by our school teams in football, baseball, softball, basketball, volleyball and cheerleading.
