Celebrating 90 Years of Faith, Community and Service
Marian Shrine Blessing
Following the 7:30 AM Mass on Sunday, September 1, about fifty people came to join in the prayers while others were able to watch on TV in the church. Father Ken joined Fathers Paul, John and Charles, our missionary visitor from India.
The prayer was a simple invocation of God’s blessing on our parish and all who would visit the shrine. We then prayed a Litany of Mary, asking her intercession for all our needs.
The shrine was designed by Dennis Chapman of Environmentally Sound Landscaping. Dennis is a parishioner of Saint Terrence. He built the shrine not only as a part of his business but also with a deep devotion to our faith.
This beautiful shrine has been made possible by generous gifts from the families of Jay Surufka, Margaret Holmes, all the brick donors and your gift to the Annual Catholic Appeal. The dedication bricks should be installed in about six weeks. Please come and take some time for quiet prayer, then stop by at the Eucharistic Adoration Chapel.
