Light a Candle!

Saint Miriam has a beautiful votive tree called "The Burning Bush" and we offer intentions by lighting a simple 14-hour candle on each of its 48 branches. In the lighting of candles we remember and truly live out the words of Our Lord: "I am the Light of the World." In the lighting of candles we not only pray, but our prayers become smaller symbols of the One Light of Christ. Your intentions can also now be made online and a candle will be lighted by one of our priests on your behalf and a prayer said for your specific intention. This is a beautiful way to honor a loved one or to care for a concern.

New! The Burning Bush

Saint Miriam is starting a campaign to raise funds to reduce our environmental impact and also reduce our monthly lighting/electrical expenses by 94%. We will purchase 80 LED bulbs and dedicate our newest piece of liturgical furniture - a votive candle memorial for our sanctuary - that we will call our "Burning Bush" to all those who give to this campaign. (See photo). These bulbs will be located throughout the parish including the sanctuary, and have a life expectancy of 12 to15 years. For each donation of $100, every donor receives a “golden light bulb” lapel pin, and their name, or a loved one's name, will be engraved on a plaque on our Founder's Wall.

Stained Glass Project!

Our Sanctuary Stained Glass project is now taking shape and style and color! Please make your way to the Library and cast your vote for one of two beautiful designs, or support online here today with your memorial or honor donation!

The designs are not conservative, traditional designs. Rather they are more modern in scope, holding to our ethos to allow our minds and imaginations to interpret them as we change moods, stations in life, etc.

Design #1 features curves and circular movements to depict creation. Design #2 features the elegance of streaming rays of light coming down from heaven!


Please cast your vote now by making a donation and adding your choice today!

Together, we will watch us take on new shape and color in our already beautiful Sanctuary. If we can raise the needed funds, these beautiful windows will be installed in time for Easter Sunday!

Brand New Mass Cards now available!

Our mass cards now have a beautiful full-color stained glass image and new personalization available! Order yours today!

How Your
Saint Miriam
Holding Cross
is Produced

The Saint Miriam Holding Cross ™

A holding cross, or a comfort cross, as it is sometimes called, is an asymmetric cross that is made to fit ergonomically into the palm of one's hand and is used during prayer. It is thought that the holding cross is based on an ancient design found in ancient European chapels. Although the origin of the holding/comfort cross tradition is not known, it is thought that it dates back to the early Christians.

Holding crosses are made out of many different types of materials, but few are as impressive as the Saint Miriam Holding Cross™. Each is a miniature replica of our patented-processional cross and they are blessed from the oil from the fruit of the Olive Tree, which has been used for religious rites since biblical times. In time your Saint Miriam Holding Cross™ will develop its own patina from frequent handling. No two crosses will ever look the same due to the variations in the grain on the brass used in its forging; each is unique…just like you! We pray that it brings you hours of peace with God.

See the whole Saint Miriam Cross story by clicking here.

Each Saint Miriam Holding Cross comes beautifully gift boxed in a Saint Miriam box, tied with a Saint Miriam ribbon for an elegant presentation!

Also, each comes with a Mass and Dedication card (see above) in a Gold Foil lined envelope! So, the recipient of this wonderful gift can also have a Mass dedicated to someone they love!

Each cross shows how we are “fearfully and wonderfully made”, and now you can order your one-of-a-kind Saint Miriam holding cross today and feel the love of God and spread this message wherever you go!
