• Mass on Sunday, August 28, 2022 at 10 A.M. COVID restrictions still in place.
• SPECIAL NOTE: As we look toward September, we will have a change for our monthly Saturday Mass–instead of the 3rd Saturday, 9-17, it will be on the 4th Saturday, 9-24. THIS CHANGE IS JUST FOR SEPTEMBER! The LCC has their “Family Sunday” on September 25 in our time slot, so it would be better for us to meet on Saturday, September 24 to give them space. Additionally, that means that we will have Sunday Mass on the 3rd weekend, September 18. Hopefully this is clear!

Dear Friends,

This week’s readings really call us to fine-tune our walk with Jesus, meaning not just, “caring about” and “loving” those who think and act like us, but opening up our thinking and acting to include differing ways–ideas and more.

Come; ponder all this with us this week.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

We are mightily challenged this week with Scriptures that seem, “almost threatening,” but amid some of these tones, are bits of hope.

Come; be with us and let’s discover this hope that we so need in our world.

Dear Friends,

We are being called this week to “balance” in our lives–how much do I want, how much do I need? –a wise woman used to ask. Qoheleth, Paul and Jesus have some answers for us.

Come; ponder this question with us this week.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Mass on Sunday, July 24, 2022, at 10 A.M. COVID restrictions are still in place for everyone’s safety.

REMEMBER to sign up for our Mary of Magdala celebration coming soon, on August 14, 2022 We will begin with a 10 A.M. Mass and a pot-luck lunch with follow. This Mary, whose feast day is actually this Friday, July 22, has been unjustly maligned through much of our Catholic history, and this celebration’s goal is to change that image, and not just for Mary, but for all women. I have come across some new exegesis with regard to this Mary that I am looking forward to sharing with you this year!

Hopefully this finds all of you reasonably well–and please don’t hesitate to be in touch with me if I can help in any way. 507-429-3616 or aaorcc2008@gmail.com.
