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

Lord Jesus, grant that my spouse and I may have a true and understanding love for

each other.

Grant that we may both be filled with faith and trust. Give us the grace to live with each other in peace and harmony. May we always bear with one another’s weaknesses and grow from each other’s strengths.

Help us to forgive one another’s failings and grant us patience, kindness, cheerfulness and the spirit of placing the well-being of one another ahead of self.

May the love that brought us together grow and mature with each passing year. Bring us both ever closer to You through our love for each other. Let our love grow to perfection. Amen.

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.
