Photos from St. Mary Church, Griffith, Indiana

Priesthood Sunday was October 25, 2009. Proclaimed by Pope Benedict XVI, it's a day to honor priests for their dedication and service to the Church and its people. St. Mary students honored Father Mens with a life sized cutout of himself holding a large recipe card. The students brought forward all the "ingredients" on flashcards that make up a parish priest and placed them on the receipe card: knowledge, compassion, prayerful, fun, sense of humor and agility (to keep up with the students). Put them all together and it serves 100's daily and was created and tested by St. Mary students.
