What Cross Do You Carry?
Lent is a perfect time to “Let Go, Let God”. The crosses we carry make our souls heavy. Give God your crosses and burdens by writing them down on a bandaid and placing them on His Cross that we have on our Church altar. This Cross, will be wrapped in red, venerated, and carried in the procession on Good Friday and by His wounds we will be healed.
From the handful of families in 1849 that built our beloved church, to the many families that sit in our pews in 2020, we have together supported the growth and prosperity of St. Mary’s Swormville for over 171 years!
