St. Gerard Majella Parish
-
Welcome to St. Gerard Majella Parish website. September sets off a new season, ushering in cooler weather, though the first weekend was great, and changes in environment. The parishionners at St. Gerards are looking also at a new season in their spiritual lives with the arrival of a new Parish Priest, Father Francis Ezenezi. We want to welcome Father Francis to our parish and wish him all the best. It will be nice to have stability returned to St. Gerards. To our students returning to school, either in town or out, we wish you all the best and will keep you in our prayers.

We have put an article for the Liturgy For September in the article section. The month of September is dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows, whose memorial the Church celebrates on September 15. September falls during the liturgical season known as Ordinary Time, which is represented by the liturgical color green. During September, the Liturgy does not focus on one particular mystery of Christ, but views the mystery of Christ in all its aspects. We follow the life of Christ through the Gospels, and focus on the teachings and parables of Jesus and what it means for us to be a follower of Christ. During Ordinary Time we can concentrate more on the saints and imitate their holiness as Christ's followers.
