Father's Day 2025 Hello St. Mary Magdalene,  Happy Father's Day! How cool that God our Father in Heaven let's us use His identity and relationship to showcase His goodness! God is so good! Also, thank you so much for all who made the Mass in which Bishop consecrated our altar happen and the reception for Fr. Sylvester and I following.

It's been such a joy to walk with you here at St. Mary Magdalene. Know of my prayers for you as I prepare for my new assignment in Kingman and please keep me and Fr. Sylvester in your prayers.  Fr.

There is room for you in the pierced heart of Jesus! Hello St. Mary Magdalene,  Happy Easter! This weekend we celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday, that wonderful feast where we celebrate and give thanks for the victory of Christ over sin and death!  Also I share a bit on Pope Francis and what I take away the most from his pontificate and legacy.  Come join us for our Divine Mercy holy hour on Sunday April 26, 2025 from 3 to 4pm in the church!   God bless,  Fr.

Happy Easter! Hello St. Mary Magdalene,  Blessed Good Friday and Happy Easter! How good God is! He allows His heart to be pierced today and the font of grace and mercy flow forth. But this also means that there's room in His pierced heart for each of us! I can't help but think about this during these most sacred days. Christ chooses each of us, Christ chooses you and He makes room for us in His heart so that we might dwell with Him forever. For this we can always give thanks and look to any crucifix with love, gratitude, and hope in the debt that He paid for our salvation. We adore you O Christ, and we praise you! Because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.  God bless,  Fr. Chris Visit us: https://www.smarymag.org Support us online: https://membership.faithdirect.net/AZ754

Reflections on St. Patrick and St. Joseph Hello St. Mary Magdalene,  I hope your Lenten journey has been fruitful thus far. This week we had two amazing saints that remind us of the value of sacrifices and penances having value and doing incredible things when offered to the Lord. Let us, through their intercession, continue in our own Lenten disciplines and persevere so that Christ may more readily manifest Himself in our lives.  God bless,  Fr.

Abraham and the stars in the sky! Hello St. Mary Magdalene,  This week we have a powerful reading from Genesis 15 as our 1st reading for Mass. In this reading we see Abraham invited to gaze up into the sky and count the stars in the middle of the afternoon! He can't see the stars, and similarly, sometimes we can't always see God or His plan for us, but we know they are there. What a great reminder for us of trust in the Lord and that just because we don't see it, doesn't mean that He isn't leading us! May this Lenten journey help to further cultivate our faith that we may model a faith like that of Abraham and follow the Lord in all things.  God bless,  Fr.
