 In the Christmas season, we welcomed back the Gloria to   the Sunday Mass. This prayer of praise begins by echoing   the angels who announced the birth of Jesus to the   shepherds in the fields. The angels said,

   "Gloria to God in the highest and on earth peace to those       on whom his favor rests! (Luke 2: 8-14).

We sing the "Gloria" all year, except during Advent and Lent. Fr. James explains more about this prayer in his youtube series HERE.

Please visit the alumni page of St. Mary's School and consider giving us your contact information. We'd love to share the great things that are happening at St. Mary's, and we hope to continue to be part of your life, too.
