• Mass on Sunday, May 8, 2022 at 10 A.M. COVID precautions still in place due mainly to the “smallness” of our space and our desire to keep all those attending safe.
• Sunday is Mothers’ Day–think of all those who have “mothered” you in physical, emotional and spiritual ways in your life-time and show your gratitude this weekend.
• May is dedicated to our spiritual mother, sister and friend, Mary of Nazareth–remember her as the strong, competent, and dedicated woman and mother-model she was throughout her earthly life–one who said, “yes” to God when that was called for, and “no” when that was also called for to that which wasn’t good in life as she became more aware of the difference through the life of her wonderful son.
• Please be in touch with me if I can help you or your family in any way–if you are homebound and would like a pastoral visit–please don’t ever hesitate to ask as that is “what I do!” 507-429-3616 or aaorcc2008@gmail.com.
• And finally, remember on Tuesday, May 10, 2022 that All Are One Catholic church is 14 years old! Celebrate that we are “a walk in faith and hope and love of a more inclusive Church in our time!”

Dear Friends,

We continue our Easter Alleluias as we remember that the joy is “part and parcel” with the struggle of life, as Christians, that we continue to walk in Jesus’ footsteps.

Come; pray with us this week.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

We are, as has been said by others, “An Easter People” and that, “Alleluia is our Song!” What that simply means is that just as our brother Jesus put on “new life” in the resurrection, we too, as his followers, are called to be the change, in our world, that we want to see–basically being our best selves for ourselves and for others.

Come; pray with us this week.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

• We will continue our COVID precautions for the time being. Thanks to all for being safe and conscious of the safety of others.
• All Are One Catholic church Safety Policy: In the past this was always part of our bulletins and with the pandemic and us not meeting in person, we had stopped printing it. Now that we are meeting in person again, I and our board decided that it was good to once again print it on a regular basis: This basically calls all of us adults to just be aware of what goes on in our surroundings and the duty to keep everyone safe.

All Are One Roman Catholic Church Safety Policy

Every effort will be made to ensure the safety of all attendees at All Are One services and social activities.  Any violation of this policy will be reported immediately to local law enforcement.  (This statement was shared with the parish on June 9, 2013/2018 and has been on our website—reviewed at recent board meeting 4-19-2022).

Dear Friends,

Our Easter “alleluias” continue as we rejoice that Jesus has risen–to new life.

Our task, as we see in this week’s Scripture readings, is to do our part to continue Jesus’ work–his ministry, in our world. Being our best selves, “reaching out and touching” others in their need is the way to do it!

Let each of us be the change our world needs.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

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

Dear Friends,

We are back from our 10-day, hard-working, but most meaningful trip to Cuba, of which you will no doubt be hearing much more as time goes by.

With this coming Sunday, we are entering into the holiest week of our Church Year. It is “holy” not only because our brother Jesus died for us, but more so, because he lived for us, so that we would know the best ways to live our one, wonderful life, not only for ourselves, but for others.

May each of us be truly blessed during this week!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
