Dear Friends,

Mass on Sunday, February 5, 2017 at 10 A.M. 

Our collection of groceries for January 2017 for the Winona food shelf was 78# –thank you all for your generosity and thanks to Kathy and Dave Palmquist  for delivering our donation!

February 2 was the feast of St. Blaise, the patron of illnesses and afflictions of the throat–in honor of him, we will have the blessing of throats this Sunday. 

We can’t quite get past the theme to “shine our lights” that the Scriptures are giving us each week, now, even though we have moved past Epiphany and into Ordinary Time.  It is probably because the challenge to “shine our lights” in memory of Jesus of Nazareth, our brother, was and is intended to be our life-long mission.

Come friends; let us ponder and pray about this challenge together, this Sunday.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
