On March 14, 2009, Mary, Mother of Jesus Catholic Community celebrated our first liturgy at 6pm at St. Andrew United Church of Christ in Sarasota, Florida. Pastor Phil Garrison warmly welcomed our community to this beautiful sanctuary. Forty-six people gathered for this historic first! Married Priest, Michael Rigdon and Roman Catholic Womanpriest, Bridget Mary Meehan presided. The community participated in a dialogue homily and recited the prayer of consecration during the Eucharistic Prayer. Jack Meehan, Bridget Mary's father, played the saxophone. We concluded our liturgy by praying for healing with two of our members who are ill.
