There are a variety of ministries in which lay Catholics serve the Church. But when Mary Serbin and Randy Perrault answered the call, God had a slightly different path in mind for them. It’s a route marked by Interstates 40 and 75 and byways leading to rural destinations as drivers for the St. Mary’s Legacy Clinic.

Parishioners in all four Diocese of Knoxville deaneries met Archbishop Shelton J. Fabre and listened as he shared the Gospel and his outlook for the Catholic Church in East Tennessee during the week of Aug. 14, his first sojourn into the heart of the diocese since he was named its apostolic administrator.

There will be a second collection after Masses this weekend, Sept. 16-17, to support the St. Mary's Legacy Clinic. This unique medical ministry provides care to the uninsured in rural East Tennessee.

The faithful of the Diocese of Knoxville are asked to pray as a community and individual for our future shepherd, that the Lord will help him to fill our minds and hearts with the truth of the Gospel, the power of the sacraments, and the desire to build up the Church.
