Dear Friends,
Mass on Sunday, August 4, 2019 at 10:00 A.M.
This week we will be adding a couple extra minutes to our communion time with a short 2 minute reflection time beginning after our reception of communion before we sing the communion hymn. Our board discussed this after a suggestion by Bev Dumonski that we add this quiet time for reflection to our liturgies and we agreed that is was a good addition. We are all so busy and this bit of quiet to consciously reflect on the gift of Eucharist just received as well as all the good gifts in our lives seems appropriate.
We are called to consider the folly of acquiring more and more material goods–we are called to “balance” in our material and spiritual lives, discovering what is “need” and what is “want.”
Come; ponder these ideas with us this week.
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.”
