Bishop Serratelli honored our very own Rick Mack with the Diocesan Vivere Christus Award on Sunday. Vivere Christus is Latin for "to live is Christ", originating from St. Paul's letter to the Philippians (1:21), and is Bishop Serratelli's own motto as bishop. The Vivere Christus Award is bestowed on someone who has been exemplary in his/her commitment to Jesus Christ and His Church, and has demonstrated that within the parish community.
Rick has served faithfully and quietly over many years here at St. Mary's, often times doing the work that goes unnoticed. We celebrate and thank God for Rick this weekend, and let him know his service is noticed and deeply appreciated. Please join me in congratulating Rick and thanking him for his unwavering service to the Lord and to others here at St. Mary's!
