Bulletin – 6th Sunday of Easter in a time of Pandemic

/ kredig

Again this week, NO PHYSICAL MASS, but we pray, just the same, for each other.  Due to our small space, social-distancing isn’t possible, plus we are generally more than 10 per recommendations from our governor.  So, until that time that more testing and follow-up tracing can be accomplished; we will need to remain a virtual community. 

Dear Friends,

This week’s readings continue to remind us that, “everyone is welcome”–that God’s love is big enough to include all–let our love be the same! Stay safe and well.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

P.S. This next Thursday, May 21 is Ascension Thursday–I will send some reflection for that day next week.

Readings: 

  • Acts 8: 5-8, 14-17
  • 1 Peter 3: 15-18
  • John 14: 15-21

 

Bulletin – 5th Sunday of Easter during a time of pandemic

NO MASS AGAIN this week, but do look for my homily and accompanying materials for your reflection later in the week.  

Also look for another post sharing thoughts and information from groups that we have given financially to during this time of pandemic.

Dear Friends,

This Sunday, May 10th marks the 12th anniversary of All Are One Catholic church becoming a community of practicing believers in Winona, Minnesota.  Since that first Mass celebrated in our space shared with the Lutheran Campus Center; we have become a parish!  Thank you all for your faith in me and in each other.

And during this time of pandemic; we are not able to physically meet, but will as soon as is possible again–when it is safe to do so.  I hear some talk about the weekend of May 31st as a possibility for diocesan churches to reopen with a whole catalog of precautions. I am of the mind that this is yet too soon with the idea of keeping you all safe in our small space.  Until more people are able to be tested in our state and there is more assurance of who is sick and who isn’t through tracing; we will err on the side of caution.

Peace and love to all–stay safe and well,

Pastor Kathy

Readings: 

  • Acts 6: 1-7

Bulletin – 4th Sunday of Easter in a Time of Pandemic

/ kredig

NO MASS AGAIN THIS WEEKEND.

Dear Friends,

No physical Mass once again this Sunday as we all social-distance to protect ourselves and each other.  This will be Good Shepherd Sunday as we reflect on our God who considers each one of us unique, calls us by name, and will leave the 99 to find us when we become, lost.

Robert and I continue our prayers for each of you and ask you to remember us as well.  We are a community and will remain one if we remember to hold each other in our hearts and prayers.  Our community has been praying for our brother, Eric B. and I wanted you to know that he has been able to return to his home in Willowbrook  with around-the-clock caregivers.  He is much happier now to be in this familiar place–thanks all for your prayers.

Stay safe and well and write, krredig@hbci.com or call, 507-429-3616 if I may be of particular service to you.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Bulletin – 3rd Sunday of Easter during a time of Pandemic

/ kredig

NO MASS THIS WEEKEND ONCE AGAIN!!!–Physical, that is! –this is a time to be “church” in other ways!  This time of social distancing is perhaps teaching you, as it is me, how we might be “church” in other ways–how we might, in fact, receive “eucharist” in other ways.  And of course; I am speaking beyond the “physical” bread.  Because we can’t be together, does that preclude being community to each other?  I don’t think so…

Dear Friends,

We are challenged as those on their way to Emmaus in this week’s Gospel, to find Jesus where we wouldn’t necessarily look!  Let us be “church” in new and creative ways during these days of social-distancing.

If there is anything I can do for you, please don’t hesitate to call or email: 507-429-3616 or aaorcc2008@gmail.com.

Peace and love–stay safe and well–

Pastor Kathy

Readings: 

  • Acts 2: 14, 22-28

  • Luke 24: 13-35

 

Bulletin – 2nd Weekend of Easter in the time of Pandemic 2020

/ kredig

NO MASS THIS SATURDAY–APRIL 18, 2020 due to the need for social distancing during this time of pandemic!!!  If we could meet for Mass this week, it would be on Saturday–let us meet in spirit, sharing our goodness, our love for each other and  for the God who made us all. 

Dear Friends,

Once again, we won’t be meeting, but our hearts are joined in this Easter–alleluia time!  Do reach out in the ways that you can, to those in need.  Our board has voted to give $300 to Habitat for Humanity here in Winona because due to the pandemic,  The ReStore  has had to close as well as Habitat’s major fundraiser has had to be cancelled.  In order to keep them afloat, some local friends have given a $40,000 matching grant and local churches have been asked to help them make the additional $40,000.

Stay safe and well, my friends–peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
