• An overwhelming amount of those who attended Palm Sunday Services would prefer that we continue to wear masks, so the people have spoken!
• Due to weather this past Tuesday evening, our board meeting was cancelled and rescheduled for this next Tuesday, April 19, 2022 at 6:15 p.m.
• Please be in contact with me if I can help you in any way–507-429-3616 or aaorcc2008@gmail.com.

Dear Friends,

Holy Week is upon us! Some of you were able to begin it with our Palm Sunday Mass last week. I do still have some palms if you would like some–please let me know and I will get them to you next week. Below, I will include the readings for the “holy days” of this week, known as the Triduum, if you would like to spend time with the Scriptures.

This week, our Mass time falls on our regular, monthly, Saturday service time, thus we will be having the Easter Vigil in place of Easter Sunday Services. Hopefully, you can join us for this very special service moving from dark to light, from death to life. We will add the “alleluias” back into our Masses along with the Gloria! If you can’t be with us on either, Good Friday or Holy Saturday, please know that you are in our prayers –happy Easter–happy Spring!

Peace, love and joy,

Pastor Kathy
