Incense, with its sweet-smelling perfume &
high-ascending smoke, is typical of the good
Christian's prayer, which, enkindled in the heart by
the fire of God's love & exhaling the odour of Christ,
rises up a pleasing offering in His sight (from the
Catholic Encyclopedia). Only non-choking, non-allergenic incense is used at St. Mary Magdalene. Still, some may find it disagreeable. Incense is not used at the 6:30 p.m. Mass on Saturdays or the 7:30 a.m. Mass on Sundays. |
|
The Sacrament of Reconciliation(Confession) is celebrated at St. Mary Magdalene: Every Saturday 3:15 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. You may also call the office (943-2133, ext. 6200) to make an appointment with one of our priests. |

Stations of the Cross every Friday of Lent at 7:15pm in the church. Each week a different theme guides our prayer: March 24 - FAMILY; March 31 - MARY; April 7 - RIGHT TO LIFE; April 14 - POPE JOHN PAUL II |
 |
“You shall not covet” is perhaps a difficult commandment to keep in our consumer-oriented society. But as Christian stewards, we know that we are the recipients & caretakers of God’s many gifts. May this understanding that all is gift help us be less resentful of the gifts of others.
