A Parish United in Gratitude: Join Us for Our Masses of Thanksgiving
Dear Parish Family,
As we approach the beautiful season of Thanksgiving, our hearts naturally turn toward gratitude gratitude for God’s blessings, for the gift of faith, for the people who walk with us on life’s journey, and for the many ways the Lord continues to work in and through our parish community. As Catholics, the most powerful way we can express this gratitude is by gathering around the altar of the Lord to celebrate the Holy Eucharist. The word Eucharist itself literally means thanksgiving, reminding us that every Mass is, at its core, a profound act of praise and gratitude to God.
This year, Mary, Mother of Our Savior Parish invites all parishioners, families, and friends to participate in two special Masses of Thanksgiving moments of grace that anchor our holiday celebrations in the worship of God.
Thanksgiving Day Mass – Thursday, November 27th at 9:00am (Lourdes Campus)
Before the business of cooking, traveling, and hosting begins, we have the opportunity to begin Thanksgiving Day in the most meaningful way possible: by joining together to celebrate the Eucharist.
Our Thanksgiving Day Mass on Thursday, November 27th at 9:00am at the Lourdes Campus is a cherished parish tradition, drawing us together as one family to offer thanks for the blessings God has poured upon us this past year.
At this Mass, we will unite our voices and hearts in gratitude thanking God for our growing parish community, for the many ministries that enliven our mission, for our families and loved ones, and for the gift of faith that sustains us. There is truly no better way to begin Thanksgiving Day than by giving thanks to the One who has given us everything.
Notre Dame Mass of Thanksgiving – Tuesday, November 25th at 9:00am (Rosary Campus)
We are also blessed to host the Notre Dame Junior/Senior High School Mass of Thanksgiving on Tuesday, November 25th at 9:00am at our Rosary Campus.
Celebrated with the entire school community, this joyful liturgy is open to the public, and all parishioners are warmly encouraged to attend. Please note that there will be no 8:15am daily Mass that day so that our whole parish may unite with Notre Dame in giving thanks.
This annual school liturgy is a beautiful expression of our shared mission of forming young disciples and giving witness to the joy that comes from living lives rooted in gratitude.
As we gather for these Masses of Thanksgiving, let us come with hearts open to God’s grace, ready to recognize His blessings and renew our commitment to live as a grateful, hope-filled, and united parish family.
Your Servant in Christ,
Father Jason C. Hage, Pastor
