• Mass on Sunday, October 18, 2026, at 10 A.M. AAO will be on for refreshments, with Pauline Christensen and Reggie Johnson supplying the treats! The two remaining times this year are November 15, and December 20 – November is covered but we will need two people in December – let me know if you can help!
• Nearly $500 was collected at the special, joint Mass remembering the 800th anniversary of the life and death of Saint Francis of Assisi – our gift was sent to the Minnesota Nature Conservancy, which cares for the land and animals upon it – which Francis was always concerned about as well.
• This Sunday’s Mass will be offered in memory of Shannon Hanzel, one of our founding mothers – a gift was given by a group of her friends for the ministries of our parish. Shannon’s birthday was this past week.
• Please never hesitate to call, 507-429-3616, or email, aaorcc2008@gmail.com, if I can be of help to you in any way.

Dear Friends,

We continue on in Ordinary Time realizing from the chosen Scripture readings this week, that we are basically called to live in faith, act in love, and continue to hope in the memory of our brother, Jesus.

Come; ponder and pray with us this week.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
