Dear Friends,

We come back to Ordinary Time again this Sunday through the Scriptures, old and new, asking us to be our “best selves” as we respond from our hearts first, rather than our heads, to our world and its people.

Come; pray with us this week for the strength and wisdom to “see” the right, for ourselves and others, and then, “do” it!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

The challenge continues this week as we are being asked to “sit with the ‘uncomfortableness'” at times of truly being a Christian.

Come; ponder this with us this Saturday.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

P.S. As you look over the Scriptures this week, if a word or phrase stands out for you, jot it down to share at the homily time.

• Remember to sign up for the Mass on the Farm, July 23, 2023, beginning at 10 A.M., followed by a pot-luck meal–let me know what you will bring. Given that Robert and I are still healing from knee and shoulder repairs, we have decided to have the Mass on the deck for more ease of movement–perhaps that will help some of you as well. Remember too that this Mass celebrates all women called to ministry through our sister, Mary Magdala (Mary the Tower) and all men who love them!
• Please don’t ever hesitate to call, 507-429-3616, or email me, aaorcc2008@gmail.com if I might be of help to you.

Dear Friends,

This week encourages and challenges us to be people of peace, not war and violence–making war is always the easier choice.

Come; pray with us this week to become our best selves.

Peace and love,
