Dear Friends,

We are called this weekend to seriously consider the “Body of Christ” in our midst, and ask if we want to move that idea beyond the Bread of the Altar. It’s a compelling question! Perhaps an even greater question is what was Jesus’ intention for his body?

Come; ponder this with us this weekend.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

We have a wonderful opportunity this week to delve into who our God is in the persons of the Creator, the Savior, and the Spirit. We shouldn’t get lost in the “top” layers of the Scripture readings that explain the human-made “head” understanding of “who” indeed, God is, but go deeper –to the “heart”-level seeing our God who loves and cares for each of us beyond all imaging. Then, if we do this, we have a clearer picture of what is expected of us.

Come; be with us this week.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

• Due to Mugby’s last day being May 31st and the coffee shop being closed during June for updates under the new management, we won’t start our fellowship again until July.

Dear Friends,

I think it is significant that the liturgical color for Pentecost is red and that the Scriptures about this special day for Christians speaks of “tongues of fire.” Our Christian faith does call each of us in the footsteps of our brother Jesus to, “catch fire” in living out our call.

Come; pray with us this week.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

With this weekend, we will be concluding the Easter Season, a time if we have been paying attention, that has prepared us to walk more fully in Jesus’ footsteps, aided by the gift of his Spirit.

Come; pray with us on Saturday.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

• We will meet for Mass this Sunday, May 14, 2023, Mothers’ Day at 10 A,M.!!! I will be back and hope that many of you can join us! My recovery continues!
• This past Wednesday, May 10th marked our 15th anniversary as a Vatican II parish! We will celebrate a bit later –perhaps in June, just a simple remembrance, when I am more fully recovered. For now, we will just concentrate on getting us back together.
• Mask-wearing will now be optional. This issue has been discussed by our board and the general consensus seems to be, that it is time. All the medical facilities in the area have made mask-wearing optional as well. It would be expected that if you have symptoms and are not feeling your best, then you should mask. Also, if you would feel more comfortable wearing a mask, for personal reasons, certainly feel free to do so.
• We will be returning to having fellowship as well, and this we will do again, beginning May 28th–one step at a time.

Dear Friends,

We will be back together this Sunday! My recovery has kept us apart for most of the Easter Season, but this week, as we gather again in person, let us keep in mind that our brother, Jesus, is always with us, and that we as his followers must do likewise–hear and see the needs of others.

With spring unfolding now in Winona, and in other places too, let us carry on in hope, knowing that we are not alone, but joined in love.

Come; be with us this Sunday!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
