Please contact Debbie Steves for our prayer line at: [email protected] Saints of the Week Saturday, May 29, Saint Paul VI, Pope - Giovanni Battista Montini, was born 26 September, 1897 near Brescia, Italy. Ordained a priest in 1920, he was eventually recruited for the Vatican diplomatic service. For thirty years he worked at the Vatican Secretariat of State. In 1954 he was named archbishop of Milan, where he sought to win disaffected workers back to the Catholic Church. In 1958, Montini was the first of twenty-three cardinals named by Pope John XXIII, and helped in preparing Vatican II. Elected pope in June 1963 and taking the name Paul VI, he immediately decided to continue the work of the Council which concluded on 8 December 1965. The previous day, Paul VI and Patriarch Athenagoras revoked the excommunications that their predecessors had made in 1054. Paul VI increased the number of cardinals significantly, giving many countries their first cardinal. He also instituted a permanent observer mission at the United Nations (1964); Paul VI wrote seven encyclicals, including "Ecclesiam Suam" (1964), "Populorum Progressio" (1967), and "Humane Vitae" (1968). Other writings included "Evangelii Nuntiandi" (1975) and "Marialis Cultus" (1974). Pope Paul VI died at Castel Gandolfo on 6 August 1978. He was beatified on 19 October 2014 and canonized 14 October 2018.

Hello all. I’m Father David Bailey. I will be your new Parochial Vicar and I’m super excited to have this opportunity to serve the people of God there at St. Mary Magdalene. I recently graduated from Notre Dame Seminary in New Orleans and this will be my first parish assignment as a priest. Before that, I was in the U.S. Navy before going to work for Native Americans on reservations throughout the country. Before answering God’s call to enter seminary for the Diocese of Tyler, I spent several years in Ireland. Rumor has it Fr. Rowland is vaguely familiar with the place. I’m looking forward to serving as his apprentice and I can’t wait to get to know each and every one of you as we journey together along the path to holiness. God bless you all!
