Security and Lighting Upgrades: We are almost complete in the final needed upgrades at our new parish home for this year and they include a new security system, entry system, and lighting for parking lots and cemetery. These new systems will improve security for both the preschool and parish, as well as limit vandalism within the cemetery property. The new LED lighting will also reduce our electric bill and our carbon footprint in compliance with our “Green” policy, as well as enhance our welcome to our campus! Please be mindful that if you currently have an entry code, you will need a new code effective December 23rd 2015. Please see anyone on administration staff.
Year Of Mercy Announced by Greater Church! Recently our Presiding Bishop announced an exciting show of solidarity! The Roman Catholic Church announced a Jubilee year for the 2016 Liturgical year. This Extraordinary Holy Year will be called the Jubilee of Mercy. It is scheduled to start on the Feast of the Conception of the Theotokos (called by the Roman Church the Feast of the Immaculate Conception) and will end on November 20, 2016 on the Feast of Christ the King. During this Holy Year, it is Pope Francis’ desire to see the church focus on practicing Mercy to all those we meet. He has also called on the church to practice mercy when it comes to those who have hurt or damaged the church. We practice this form of mercy every day in our interactions with those who have been hurt and disenfranchised by the mainstream churches. Therefore, as a show of solidarity with our Roman Catholic brothers and sisters, we are committing ourselves to the participation in this Holy Year. Join us! More information to come with links for prayer.

O Lord, Jesus Christ, Redeemer and Savior, forgive my sins, just as You forgave Peter’s denial and those who crucified You. Count not my transgressions, but, rather, my tears of repentance. Remember not my iniquities, but, more especially, my sorrow for the offenses I have committed against You. I long to be true to Your Word, and pray that You will love me and come to make Your dwelling place within me. I promise to give You praise and glory in love and in service all the days of my life. O come, O come, Emmanuel…

‘Toys for Tots’ Going Strong! The mission of the U. S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program is to collect new, unwrapped toys during October, November and December each year, and distribute those toys as Christmas gifts to less fortunate children in the community in which the campaign is conducted. The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens and we help through our Zion Preschool every year! See the box in the school/admin wing this week and make a child’s holiday brighter!

Greeters: These volunteers greet people, pass out missals for the Mass, and seat those attending. Then, they also remain after Mass for a few minutes to help tidy the church!
Ushers: These volunteers help to keep us on track during the set up and Mass and other services that take place at the parish! They serve as a ‘point person’ and to help ensure that we greet, welcome, and support everyone who comes! They are usually tenured people who have been part of the Saint Miriam family so they can effectively support other volunteers. They use their knowledge and empathy to make every experience a great one at Saint Miriam! For more information contact us today.

The Secular Franciscan Order, also known as the Third Order of St. Francis, is an official Order within our Church, established by St. Francis of Assisi, early in the thirteenth century. Members do not live in community, but rather live their everyday lives in the world. However, members gather together in fraternity on a regular basis, and by profession, they promise to follow a Rule of charity and service to others. Join us and make a vital life change!
