St. Mary's Catholic Church Anacortes 10/18/2025 5pm Saturday Vigil

Hold Your Hands Up: The Call to Persistent Faith We celebrate the 29th Sunday of Ordinary Time, joining Moses’ raised hand that secured Israel’s victory, Psalm 121’s reminder that the Lord is our ever‑watchful protector, St. Paul’s urging to proclaim the Gospel with perseverance, and Jesus’ parable of the persistent widow who never loses heart. Together these readings invite us to lift our prayers, trust in God’s timely help, and remain steadfast in faith. Join our livestream Mass, open your heart to God’s mercy, and be inspired to pray persistently and live courageously.
