A TRIBUTE to Ray Stoverink by Dan Fitzgerald.... One of the great things about being a life-long parishioner at St Mary Magdalen is the connections and friendships you make. So many families have stayed in the parish or frequently return for a visit. Getting together and talking about the fun we had growing up at StMM school, playing sports and attending CYC events are all things we remember fondly. Our spouses often don't get it. It's almost cult-like. Part of those friendsh...ips are sharing the good times and the bad. This weekend we learned of the death of Ray Stoverink. He was one of the good guys. Always a friendly smile and a kind word. He was one of those parishioners who was always there. Games, school picnics, celebrations, special events, fish fries; Ray and Sharon were always there. I remember several times when I was a young patrol officer, and I would see Ray on a fire call, he would make a point to come up to me and say Hi. He always seemed genuinely happy that one of the StMM kids who grew up with his kids was working in public safety. It seemed like every time RHTS fire would come to a Brentwood fire call he was there. Ray was like so many Dad's in our parish, my own included, who were always active and involved in everything. Not just sports, but helping with this event or repairing this thing or chaperoning CYC dances or being at Mass every Sunday. They were always there. Now Ray is no longer there... and that is sad. We can learn so much from the Ray Stoverink's in our life, who care for their family, their community, and their God. Thanks Ray, for showing us the way. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.

Today is the Epiphany...Epiphany means manifestation. What the Church celebrates today is the manifestation of our Lord to the whole world; after being made known to the shepherds of Bethlehem He is revealed to the Magi who have come from the East to adore Him. Christian tradition has ever seen in the Magi the first fruits of the Gentiles; they lead in their wake all the peoples of the earth, and thus the Epiphany is an affirmation of universal salvation.

Father, Source of Light in every age, the Virgin conceived and bore Your Son who is called Wonderful God, Prince of Peace. May her prayer, the gift of a mother's love, be Your people's joy through all ages. May her response, born of a humble heart, draw Your Spirit to rest on Your people. Grant this through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

Join us to welcome in the New Year and Thank God for all of our gifts!

Something to think about! We all touch someone even if we don’t realize it!

End of the year letter from Father Jack... please take a moment to see all that we have accomplished in 2020 and what we hope the future will bring.

It is the time of year where we start thinking about school enrollment...Here are some of the reasons to tell others about Saint Mary Magdalen Catholic School. If you have children or grandchildren who are looking to join our school family...please call the school office 314-961-8400. Visit our website...www.stmmschool.com for more information.

This is a great idea! We tend to forget the good!

May you be filled with the wonder of Mary, the obedience of Joseph, the joy of the angels, the eagerness of the shepherds, the determination of the magi, and the peace of the Christ child. Merry Christmas! #CatholicSTL
