Text Box: MESSAGE FROM FATHER JENSON Our readings this weekend speak of how blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, he is like a tree planted near running water. Our Lord will always nourish us with his love to enable us to love those around us. That this weekend we celebrate Valentine’s Day is a happy coincidence. Real love, which is more than merely romantic, takes strength and courage for those who love, serve and care for those whom they love. May all of us strive to be filled with the love of God, that we may be loving with all whom we know, regardless of what that may require from us at times. Have a blessed Valentine’s Day. This is also the last weekend before Lent which will begin this Wednesday which will be Ash Wednesday. Note your church bulletin for service times for Ash Wednesday. To get the most out of this season of spiritual spring training, you might want to give some thought as an individual or as a whole family to what you will do to nourish your faith during the season of Lent. There are Stations of the Cross at all three of our parishes on Fridays in Lent, 3:00 PM at St. Anthony’s, 6:00 PM at Holy Cross, and 7:00 PM at St. Hedwig’s. Note the bulletins for the schedule for Stations on Good Friday which will be different than during the rest of Lent. Father Glen Jenson, Pastor

CATHOLIC SERVICES APPEAL - Get ready to give.  The Catholic Services Appeal supports the work of the Catholic Church by responding to the abundance of human needs in our diocese.  Your gift to the Appeal provides much needed help to those in need and is an opportunity to join a unified effort in our Archdiocese to advance the mission and ministry of the Catholic Church.  Take a moment to consider the many blessings that God has bestowed upon you and prayerfully consider what gifts you are able to share in support of the work of the Church.  Please consider pledging your support to this worthwhile endeavor.
