St Mary & St Henry Faith Formation

05/18/2026

Today we celebrated our graduating seniors at Baccalaureate Mass. As they step into a new season of life, we pray they always remember that wherever life leads, God walks beside them.

May the Lord bless each of these graduates with courage for the journey ahead, wisdom in their decisions, faith that stays strong through every chapter, and hearts that always seek what is good and true. May they know they are deeply loved, supported, and never alone.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” – Proverbs 3:5-6

Congratulations, Class of 2026! We are so proud of you and excited to see all the ways God will work through your lives. 🎓🙏

TONIGHT!

Madalynn was born 12/7/25 with Trisomy 13. She passed away on 4/8/26. During the 112 days of her life her family made many sacrifices to be with her and love on her at the Children's Hospital in Minneapolis while juggling life in Le Center. Let our St. Mary, Le Center parishioners Evan, Sara, & Thomas (kindergarten) know they are not alone. The spaghetti dinner fundraiser will take place at Le Center American Legion from 5-7pm.

God Bless!

Madalynn nació el 7 de diciembre de 2025 con trisomía 13. Falleció el 8 de abril de 2026. Durante los 112 días de su vida, su familia hizo muchos sacrificios para estar a su lado y brindarle su amor en el Hospital Infantil de Minneapolis, mientras hacían malabares con su vida en Le Center. Hagan saber a nuestros feligreses de St. Mary, en Le Center —Evan, Sara y Thomas (quien asiste al jardín de infancia)— que no están solos. La cena benéfica de espagueti se llevará a cabo en la American Legion de Le Center, de 5:00 p. m. a 7:00 p. m.

¡Que Dios los bendiga!

What a beautiful and grace-filled weekend for our parish! ✨

We joyfully congratulate our youth who received their First Holy Communion and those who were Confirmed. These are powerful steps in your faith journey, and we are so proud of each of you for saying “yes” to God with open hearts.

To our parents and families—thank you for nurturing the faith of your children and walking alongside them with love and dedication. And to our catechists—your time, patience, and witness truly make a lasting impact. This moment is just as much yours to celebrate.

"May the Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace."
— Numbers 6:24–26

May the Holy Spirit continue to guide and strengthen you all as you grow in faith, hope, and love. 💛

Congratulations again to our amazing youth!
