My friends, my apologies for the lateness of this as I had intended to put the bulletin out on Ash Wednesday, but unfortunately, my server was down (ah, technology!) I will be trying to send each week a reading to help us focus on some helpful thoughts for this holy season–look for those–Pastor Kathy

• Mass on Sunday, February 22, 2026 at 10:A.M.  Ashes, remembering “That we came from the good earth and will return there one day,” will be distributed at this mass. THERE WAS NO SCHEDULED ASH WEDNESDAY SERVICE.
• My apologies for not being more available to you all this past Sunday, as I didn’t want to pass my cold on to any of you.
• Even though I am trying “to lay low” this week so as to get better, if you have a need that I can help with, please give me a call, 507-429-3616, and we can at least chat. You can also email if you wish, aaorrcc2008@gmail.com.

Dear Friends,

Lent is upon us and I can hear those “ughs” from some through the technology.  I would like us to look on these 40 Days in more of a positive way – focusing on the goodness that our God in Jesus sees in each of us, rather than on our sinfulness, alone, which is often the memory that many of us carry for Lenten seasons of the past.

I invite us this Lent to be on a journey of hope with our All Are One community – together, and perhaps we can spread this idea beyond our walls…

Come; be with us this week!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
