Dear Friends,

Once again, we are unable to gather in person, but hopefully, this won’t be for long.

The Scriptures for this 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time call us to humbly see our place in the family of God as well as the rightful place of all others.

Let us pray together this week for this openness to the Spirit.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Bulletin – 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time

  • NO IN-PERSON MASS THIS SATURDAY, JANUARY 15, 2022 or for the remaining Sundays in January (23, 30) due to the rampant rise in Omicron in our area.
  • I will be sending out prayers, readings and a homily as in the past for your use.

Dear Friends,

The “conundrum” that COVID 19 and its variants has been for our country primarily, but for the world as well, forces us, once again, to cease meeting in person for Mass until the most current threat from Omicron passes us by.

Let’s be strong for each other–reach out in ways that we can and hold onto hope, knowing in our faith, that this too will pass.

Watch for an email from me tomorrow for resources for the weekend.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Bulletin – Baptism of Jesus

  • Mass on Sunday, January 9, 2022, at 10 A.M.
  • COVID precautions still in place, vaccinations and masks required for everyone’s protection.
  • Board elections January 16, 2022 for those at Mass. We have two open positions and two people have put their names forward, so we could have an unanimous vote.

Dear Friends,

The Scriptures call us into Jesus’ adult life among us this week, preparing to do what God has sent him to do. His baptism was the beginning and for us too!

Come; be with us this week!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Bulletin – Epiphany -“The Three Kings”

  • Mass at 10 A.M. on Sunday, January 2, 2022. Unfortunately, COVID precautions are still in place. Vaccinations and masks are required for all in-person gatherings. We are still in a holding-pattern as we move into this New Year–let us pray earnestly that this is the year we can bid this virus, farewell!
  • After the Christmas season is completed and the AAO board has its 4th quarter meeting of last year, we will once again hold our annual board elections. Two of our current board members, Nancy Miller and Mary Ludwigson will be stepping down after several terms each, serving our community. We are most grateful to them! We have two candidates, Bill Crozier and Pat Przybylski and should be able to vote them in by unanimous ballot in a few weeks.

Dear Friends,

Sorry for the lateness of this bulletin…

With this Sunday’s Mass, we officially end the Christmas celebration, even though January 6th brings the 12 days of Christmas to a close. We are called to, “leave the crib” and do what is ours to do in the world.

Come; be with us this Sunday!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
