Dear Friends,

This week we try to understand the 3rd “mysterious” theme presented in these weeks following Easter–that of the “Body and Blood” (Corpus Christi) of Jesus in our midst.

Come; ponder with us the wealth of good that this Sunday holds.

Dear Friends,

Pentecost calls us to be “grownup” in our faith. It is about thinking /dreaming bigger–becoming the change

that is needed–that we want to see! This is what God wants for each of us too–to basically be our best!

Come; pray with us this week!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

We come to the end of the Easter Season with this Sunday. We are remembering Ascension Thursday as well with this Sunday. Additionally, this Sunday we remember all the many different ways that women “mother” in our world–physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Let us not only remember, but thank all the women in our lives today.

Come; pray with us this week.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

With this Sunday and the next, we complete the Sundays of Easter. All these Sundays, with our remembering of the Ascension of Jesus this next Thursday, have been about lifting up the challenge to love, in our lives–in the ups and downs, knowing that we aren’t alone, but have our brother, Jesus, helping and sustaining us. We won’t be meeting on this next Thursday for liturgy, but will be remembering the Ascension along with the 7th and final Sunday of Easter the following Sunday.

Also this week, we celebrate the gift of my ordination to the priesthood for the People of God in Winona, and the privilege of us being a Vatican II parish for 16 years where we all strive to be our best!

Come; celebrate all this along with our daily call to love.

Peace and my love to each of you,

Pastor Kathy
