• Mass on Sunday, August 30, 2026, at 10 A.M. Social time to follow to remember all with birthdays/anniversaries during the month–come and celebrate!
• Mark your calendars: the last Sunday in September – Robert and I will be away, and there will be no Mass that Sunday.
• AAO will be on the second Sunday in September for social time instead of the third–First Congregational will be having a special event remembering Hank Welle and there will be catered food–AAO is invited!
• Another date to mark on your calendars: On September 20, 2026, there will be another taping of Mass for the documentary on women priests–hopefully many of you can be present!
• Please never hesitate to call, 507-429-3616, or email, aaorcc2008@ gmail.com if I can help you in any way.

Dear Friends,

We continue this week in Ordinary Time with that ever constant challenge to do the most loving thing, even when we may be the only one doing it… but we aren’t alone– our brother Jesus us with us.

Come; be with us!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
