Dear Friends,

Mass on Sunday, October 30, 2016, 10 A.M. 

Last Sunday to bring groceries in October for Winona Volunteer Services

Remember to sign up for Thanksgiving Pot-luck on November 19th!

From Wisdom to Luke, this week we hear of the great love of our God for us–even though our existence is so minuscule in comparison to the whole of creation on earth and in the heavens, yet, our God loves us greatly!  Gratitude seems an appropriate response!

Come; celebrate with us this week!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Mass on Sunday, 10 A.M. October 23, 2016,  

Dear Friends,

On this 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time, we contemplate our God who always has time and energy for us as we pray with the psalmist, “Our God hears the cry of the poor.”  As we have reflected in the past, each of us is “poor” in some way, be it materially, emotionally or spiritually.

Come; let us pray together this week about the “poorness” that we all possess, but more so, about the great love that our God offers each of us to make us complete.

Mass on Saturday this weekend–October 15, 2016–4:30 P.M.

Dear Friends,

We continue on this weekend living in Jesus’ footsteps as St. Paul says, “When convenient or inconvenient.”  We pray to our brother Jesus for the help we need which he is always willing to give.

Come; celebrate with us this Saturday.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

Mass will be on Sunday, October 9, 2016 at 10 A.M. 

I look forward to being back this Sunday with any and all who can make it for Mass! Our time away was good –the colors where we were in Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick were at their peak, we were told, and they were outstandingly beautiful! Again my thanks to Dick Dahl and to Nancy Miller for the special ways they served to make the liturgy “happen” on my two weekends away!

This week we are being asked to contemplate what our faith actually calls us to, with a special focus on compassion and gratitude. The Scriptures, as always will be our guide.

Come; celebrate with us this Sunday!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

Mass on Sunday, October 2, 2016 at 10 A.M.

We missed you last weekend and it sounded as though an “intimate” group of you met on Saturday to celebrate our one-ness as a community. Again, I am grateful to Nancy Miller for sharing a homily and to Dick Dahl for presiding. I will get Nancy’s homily out a bit later. Dick will be presiding this next Sunday as well in my absence.

The readings for this Sunday are a bit of a bitter pill to shallow, but together I’m sure, you will “open” them up an find the goodness intended.

Peace and love from New Brunswick and beyond!

Pastor Kathy
