"Stewardship is the ability to share one's gifts of life, time, talents, and resources with others with no strings attached, and no conditions." –the late Archbishop Thomas Murphy, Seattle
This area is dedicated to all children, but especially those who, although they are no longer with us here on earth, are remembered in our prayers and continue to live in our hearts. This special space is provided for meditation and reflection, a peace-filled atmosphere with the Archangel Gabriel keeping watch.
"Can a woman forget her baby at the breast, feel no pity for the child she has borne? Even if these were to forget, I shall not forget you." —Isaiah 49:15
Two special options are available for memorializing a child on a wall entitled Shrine of the Holy Innocents. This black granite wall is an outside wall of the House of Bethany, which overlooks Bethesda Pool in the beautiful meditation garden of Bethany. The children remembered here will have Masses offered on their behalf, and the OSMM Community will pray regularly for them as well.
A crystal teardrop (seen above) can be purchased for a donation of $500. Simply email the name of the child you would like to memorialize to osmm@sbcglobal.net, and the child's name will be beautifully set onto a teardrop.
The heavy aluminum memorial plaque (seen below) can be purchased for an offering of $750. Email a high resolution picture and a short sentiment to osmm@sbcglobal.net and they will both be included on this beautiful plaque.
The many priests who come to the House of Bethany will also keep you in prayer, and you and your intentions will be remembered in all of the Masses celebrated in Mary's Chapel.
Place the name of a loved one, family member, friend, or anyone you wish to be remembered in prayer on a heart to be placed on the Healing & Hope Wall in Mary's Chapel. You can donate a heart in memory of someone deceased, or anyone else to be remembered in our prayers.
Each heart is available for a one-time donation of $500. This is a beautiful way to memorialize a loved one, and to help support our ongoing healing ministry. Click the 'Add to Cart' button below, or click here to download a form to complete and mail back to us.
Dedicate a lifetime memorial for your special priest(s) by donating a tiled plaque in honor of his priesthood.
We felt called to have a place to honor our holy priests and to have a museum to carry on their legacies. We can find no other place that has a center solely to honor the priesthood. Our priests are so special and they need our prayers to help them continue in their ministry of service. Without the priest, there would be no Mass; without the Mass, there would be no life-giving Eucharist.
Within Mary & Martha's House we have holy items used by Fr. Peter Rookey, renowned healing priest, and Fr. Thomas McCarthy, who experienced a Eucharistic miracle and was an important part of the life of Audrey Santo, the "victim soul" in Worcester, MA.
We need your help! The donation of your tiles will fund this center and make this a special and anointed place of honor and gratitude to the holy priests who have touched our lives.
The Priest Commemoration Wall, a wall of many tiled plaques, will be dedicated in honor of priests that you choose. The donation for each plaque will be $500.00 — perhaps your parish or prayer group would like to come together to donate a tile in honor of a special priest.
Each plaque is made of marble and is 5" X 7". You will provide us with a picture of the priest you are honoring, their name, date of ordination and a simple sentiment. All of this will be placed on the plaque.
