St. Mary History - Part 1

We are fortunate because we have several written histories of our roots that give us an insight into the past and how our past has shaped who we are today. One of those written histories will be excerpted each month in my column so that, with each installment, we might savor the rich heritage of our Faith that has been passed down from generation-to-generation.

Each generation is responsible for its own witness. The one who arrives tomorrow is on the same footing and occupies an important spot in the ever-unfolding history of the Catholic Community of St. Mary/St. Joseph as we continue our journey in this new Millennium.
