Thanksgiving Message to All Parishioners and Friends of St. Mary's And Sister Churches

Dear parishioners and friends of St. Mary Church, Helena; St. JB–Brinkley; St. Francis, Forrest City; St. Andrews, Marianna; and St. Mary of the Lake, Horseshoe Lake.

A lot has happened since our last Thanksgiving in 2024, and all of it reflects God’s blessings and unparalleled gifts. This year’s celebration should be filled with heartfelt expressions of gratitude for these wonderful and unmerited graces. We have been blessed so that we, in turn, may be living signs of God’s goodness to others. This is essential to who we are as a family.

I pray for safe travels for all who will be journeying to spend time with loved ones. I also pray that every gathering during this season be filled with love and the fruits of a Spirit-filled reunion.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Frs. James and Peter
