Dear Friends,
Mass on Sunday, July 7, 2019 at 10 A.M.–Mass celebrating our sister, Mary of Magdala–Mass on the Redig Farm–potluck lunch to follow. Hoping to see many of you there!
Once again this year, as in years past; we take a break from our regular liturgical schedule of Ordinary Time to uplift the person of Mary of Magdala to her true status as priest and prophet and in so doing, proclaim the equality and rightness of female followers of our brother, Jesus. Mary’s actual feast is July 22–we are just doing ours a little early!
This is not about power and control as demonstrated in the hierarchy of the Catholic church, but about the call of our brother Jesus in and through the lives of women to proclaim his message of love from the altars of our churches and into the daily lives of the People of God.
Come; be with us! If you haven’t yet signed up, it’s not too late! Respond to this posting and I will give you details. aaorcc2008@gmail.com – 507-429-3616
A special note: At the time of the Creed in our Mass; we will all have the opportunity to renew our baptismal promises as we pray with and for Liam and Sunny Darst as they are baptized into All Are One Catholic community.
Peace and love,
Pastor Kathy

All Are One Roman Catholic church Statement as a Sanctuary Support Community
“We affirm that as a congregation of people of faith, we are taking seriously the call to provide sanctuary support in the Winona Sanctuary Network. We recognize that our immigrant neighbors are a vital part of our community and local economy and that due to a broken immigration system they have not all been allowed the legal protections that they deserve. To this end we will use our privilege and our resources to stand with our community members that are in fear of deportation. As a sanctuary support community we are able to do this by providing; prayers, security, time, money, advocacy, relationship, and fellowship to the degree that is within our power.”
