NO MASS IN PERSON ON NOVEMBER 1, 2020

Mark you calendars for November 15, 2020 at 10 A.M. for our next Zoom Mass–this liturgy will have a Thanksgiving theme.

Dear Friends,

We will be concentrating this Sunday with what it truly means to be a “saint.” After you have a working definition–who is a saint, really; think about anyone in your acquaintance, in the present day whom you would consider a saint. A clue would be–this isn’t someone who is perfect, necessarily.

So my friends, I invite you to ponder this question.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

NO PHYSICAL MASS THIS WEEKEND-OCTOBER 11, 2020.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR THE NEXT ZOOM MASS, OCTOBER 25, 2020.

______________________________________________________________________________

Dear Friends,

We continue in these weeks, winding down the Church Year, with such beautiful weather in the Midwest. We are told this week, as most weeks, that our God welcomes all of us, but most poignantly this week, in the story of those invited to the wedding feast.

Please be with us in spirit as we reflect on our need, “to rise to the occasion.”

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

NO MASS IN PERSON THIS SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2020–Feast of St. Francis of Assisi as well!

Next Zoom Mass, Sunday, October 25, 2020 at 10 A.M.–mark your calendars!

______________________________________________________________________________

This week we will be treated to a homily from Pastor Dick Dahl. Thank you Dick, in advance! Besides this being the 27th Sunday in [Extra] Ordinary Time, it is also the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi–who probably more than any individual since our brother, Jesus, loved most perfectly the world and all its creatures.

We are likened today to a “vineyard”–called, each of us, to produce a “harvest.” This parable of Jesus represents good in our world as our God first showed us the way. May we ponder all this during the next week.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

P.S. If I may be of any help to you, please don’t hesitate to call me, 507-429-3616 or email at aaorcc2008@gmail.com.
