Dear Friends,

Mass on Sunday, November 6, 2016 at 10 A.M.

Remember to sign up for Thanksgiving Pot-luck after 4:30 Mass on November 19, 2016

Remember to bring your good, used winter clothing during November and through December 4, 2016–also the food collection for November will go to the Standing Rock Reservation, in North Dakota–please be generous! 

This Sunday we are challenged around issues of faith and the after life.  The challenge concerning our faith is the question of how strong our faith actually is.  Additionally, we are asked to consider just what “afterlife” means to us–significant questions whose answers go a long way to determine the meaningfulness of our lives.

Come; celebrate and pray with us this week!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

Mass on Sunday, October 30, 2016, 10 A.M. 

Last Sunday to bring groceries in October for Winona Volunteer Services

Remember to sign up for Thanksgiving Pot-luck on November 19th!

From Wisdom to Luke, this week we hear of the great love of our God for us–even though our existence is so minuscule in comparison to the whole of creation on earth and in the heavens, yet, our God loves us greatly!  Gratitude seems an appropriate response!

Come; celebrate with us this week!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Mass on Sunday, 10 A.M. October 23, 2016,  

Dear Friends,

On this 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time, we contemplate our God who always has time and energy for us as we pray with the psalmist, “Our God hears the cry of the poor.”  As we have reflected in the past, each of us is “poor” in some way, be it materially, emotionally or spiritually.

Come; let us pray together this week about the “poorness” that we all possess, but more so, about the great love that our God offers each of us to make us complete.

Dear Friends,

We continue on this weekend living in Jesus’ footsteps as St. Paul says, “When convenient or inconvenient.”  We pray to our brother Jesus for the help we need which he is always willing to give.

Come; celebrate with us this Saturday.

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy
