By Father Perry D. Leiker, pastor "You and I are supposed to be like Mary," Father Perry tells us in his homily for our 7 p.m. Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary Mass. "She's model of the church, model of every Christian. "The singular privilege that she had to bring Christ into the world has been shared with us. She models perfectly. But that's our role, to follow her as an example. We do it best when live the Gospel."
