“Trials are nothing else but the forge that purifies the soul of all its imperfections.“
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!
Volunteers
Thank you to everyone that attended the Volunteer dinner.
We appreciate our volunteers and know that through the years there have been many who gave of their time, talent and treasure to build the community of St. Mary Magdalen.

Our summer program offered softball for athletes from T-ball to adult games.
