St.Mary Catholic Church, Carlyle, Illinois--Father Mauck's Message

Hello,
Welcome to St. Mary, Carlyle, website. We thank Dale Henry for putting this together for us. It is a great way for us to communicate what is happening in the parish both to our parishioners and all who visit Carlyle. Take some time to log in on our guest book or to give us any suggestions on how we can make it even more helpful to you as a parishioner or visitor.

I borrow the words of St. Paul in welcoming you.

"We ought to thank God always for you, brothers (and sisters), as is fitting, because your faith flourishes ever more, and the love of every one of you for one another, grows ever greater. Accordingly, we ourselves boast of you in the churches of God regarding your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and the afflictions you endure...To this end, we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of your calling and powerfully bring to fulfillment every good purpose and every effort of faith, that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, in accord with the grace of our God and Lord Jesus Christ." (II Thessalonians 1 :3-4, 11-12)

Peace to you and to our world.
Fr. George Mauck, Pastor Thanksgiving Day, November 25, 2004
