St. Mary’s Makes Headlines!
In case you missed it, St. Mary's was recently featured in the Diocesan newsletter. The lead article was about the St. Mary's “For the Good of the City” initiative, in which we have partnered with The Raue Center for the Arts, and Celebrate Re-Entry. You can read the article on the Diocesan website.
RIP Rev. Lori Lowe
The Rev. Lori Lowe, former Rector of St. Paul’s, McHenry, died unexpectedly last Monday after experiencing a severe brain bleed. She and her husband, The Rev. Bill McLemore, recently retired and moved to Atlanta to be near family. (Many parishioners will remember Bill McLemore, as he served as supply priest here a few times over the last several years.)
You can read the announcement in the Diocesan newsletter. (Scroll down to Clergy News). The complete obituary is also available.
May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed
by the mercy of God, Rest in Peace.
Condolences may be sent to:
Bill McLemore
