Bulletin – Christmas Eve

/ kredig

Christmas Eve Mass, on Saturday, December 24, 2022 at 4:30 p.m. Come a bit early to ponder the message of the Christmas carols.

The plan at this point is to meet in person for Mass, unless officials are saying not to drive. I know several of you already are somewhat homebound and that you are with us in spirit.

As I said in an earlier post, with the “tri-demic” afoot, we need to keep wearing our masks!

Please never hesitate to call, 507-429-3616, or email, aaorcc2008@gmail.com if I can help in any way.

Dear Friends,

Our Advent journey is nearly over and as we anticipate this great feast of love, a love given first by our God, and then by us as we reach out to others, let us keep in mind, in a special way all those grieving this year due to losses of any kind, and ask a special blessing for them. Christmastime is about miracles given and received.

Let us good friends keep our hearts wide-open now and into the New Year soon upon us, to bring light and goodness where we can.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

I won’t be with you this weekend in person, but, as a friend says, “Always in spirit!” The Scriptures this weekend are primarily about our mother/sister, Mary of Nazareth–a woman of strength, of faith–one to emulate! And her partner, Joseph of Nazareth, who takes a bit longer, but becomes a man of great faith and strength too!

Let us pray for each other this weekend–safe travels if you are traveling–stay well!

Love and peace,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

This Sunday is all about joy–we can use pink or white as the liturgical color. In fact, as Jesuit, Dan Schutte says, Advent is all about “joy”–joy in a God who loves us so much.

Come; pray with us this Sunday!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Bulletin – 2nd Sunday of Advent

/ kredig

Mass on Sunday, December 4, 2022 at 10 A.M. COVID restrictions still in place. This still seems wise what with the presence of flu and RSV in addition. Thus, we will not look toward having pot-lucks until spring when hopefully we will be at a better place.

Please never hesitate to be in touch, by calling, 507-429-3616 or by email, aaorcc2008@gmail.com if I can help in any way.

Dear Friends,

It would seem that the coming of our God will be made manifest in God’s Spirit through Jesus and the operative word will be, “justice.”

Come, let us ponder this mystery together this week.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Bulletin –1st Sunday of Advent

/ kredig
  • First of all, for anyone that I have missed, a most happy day to each of you! I know some of you may be alone today and if that is the case, may the joy of this day come to you in unexpected ways! There have been joys and sufferings this past year that may be hard to let go of–but let us try, together, with hope.
  • Mass is on Sunday, November 27, 2022 at 10:00 A.M. All are welcome!

Dear Friends,

With this new Church Year beginning this Sunday, we have a new chance to leave those parts behind that we may not be happy about and strive anew to be our best.

Come; pray with us!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
