St. Mary Church
1914-2014
In 1985 before the rectory was ready for occupancy,
Fr. David O’Shea, the pastor at that time, was transferred
to St. Bernadette parish in Panama City. On June 4,
1985, Fr. Francis Killeen became pastor of St. Mary
Church.
On October 7, the new rectory was dedicated by
Bishop Keith Symons. Following an Open House for the
parish, Fr. Killeen, along with Fr. Wood and Fr. Callipare
took up residence in the new building. Ladies of the
CCW were asked to help choose the furnishings and
willingly gave their talents to the project.

Abraham was prepared to sacrifice his only
son, Isaac. St. Paul reminds us that God
Himself “did not spare His own Son.” Are
my gifts to the Lord — of my resources, of
my time, of myself —also sacrificial?

“Este es mi Hijo amado; escúchenlo”. Y sí que lo escucharon. Desde ese momento, Pedro, Santiago y Juan fueron sus
ardientes seguidores, desechándolo todo para seguir las huellas del Maestro. Tal como proclama el salmista, “Señor, he
aquí tu servidor”, los tres discípulos se comprometieron a vidas de increíbles penurias e indescriptible gozo. Después de
ese día en la montaña, nunca más dudaron de la vocación escogida.
Aunque nuestras pruebas no sean tan severas como la de Abraham, ni nuestros momentos sublimes tan dramáticos
como la Transfiguración, todos confrontamos los retos cotidianos de caminar “en presencia del Señor en el país de la
vida”. Mientras seguimos nuestros diversos llamados a amar y servir, seamos confortados por lo que Pablo les recuerda a
los romanos: “Si Dios está a nuestro favor, ¿quién estará en contra nuestra?”
