CATHOLIC SERVICES APPEAL - Thank you to those who returned their pledges for the Catholic Services Appeal today. For those of you continuing to prayerfully respond, we ask that you return your pledge form to Mass next weekend. Your pledge will touch the lives of so many needs in our parish. As a reminder, our parish receives 25% of all gifts made through our parish. The need has never been greater and your response is greatly appreciated. The goal this year is not to have people give more, but to have more people give. “We are one body, one body in Christ.” |

MESSAGE FROM FATHER JENSON This is the last Sunday before Lent begins on Wednesday, February 25th. This is a good time to formulate your plan of action for the Lenten Season to be able to achieve spiritual growth. All things that live, grow, or die. Give some time in the days between today and Ash Wednesday to figure out what you can do to help to stimulate growth in the spirit. Daily mass, bible reading, praying a daily rosary, attending Stations of the Cross, volunteering, in addition to what you will be fasting from, are all good building blocks for spiritual growth. Between our three parishes we will have six masses for Ash Wednesday. Consult the details in the bulletin to find the time that will work best for you and your family. May we all have a blessed Lent! We want to wish Father Don Schwalm a Happy Birthday. Father Glen Jenson, Pastor |
