The Feast of Mary Magdalene

On this, the Feast Day of Mary Magdalene, we’d like to express our gratitude for Sunday’s prayer service with the Resurrection community and for all those who have supported us recently with monetary donations, volunteer hours, or prayer. Recent donations have funded our washer/dryer and will also go to support a new Women’s Pastoral Ministry Internship this fall. Especially at this time, we are grateful for the faithful witness of Mary Magdalene, apostle to the apostles, and we are grateful for the chance to regularly pray with all those who support our mission of serving homeless women and children. Thank you!
