Dear Friends,

Mass on Sunday, January 29, 2017 at 10 A.M. 

Last Sunday to contribute to our January collection of food for Winona Volunteer Services’ Food Shelf–please be generous–thanks! 

We, along with those first disciples are being groomed in what being a follower of our brother, Jesus, really means.  We are to see ourselves as part of a big world that is meant to be shared by all.  How does the way that I choose to live affect the lives of others?–a big question to ponder!

Come; ponder with us this week!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

Dr. Tamin Saidi talk, Let’s Make America Great TOGETHER, Friday, January 20, 2017 at Stark Hall, Room 103

This week’s readings plunge us right into the ministry of Jesus as he gathers followers around him.  The theme of, “Shine Your Light” that was first shone in Jesus is very much with us along with hope from the psalmist reminding us that because Jesus is our Light; we have nothing to fear.

Come; be with us on Saturday to celebrate this Good News!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

Mass on Sunday, January 15, 2017 at 10 A.M.

The call and challenge goes out once again this week from the prophet Isaiah that we be “lights” in our world, following in the footsteps of our brother, Jesus.  Not always easy, but our task just the same! Come; celebrate with us this Sunday and gain strength from each other for this awesome task!

Peace and love,

Pastor Kathy

Dear Friends,

Mass on Sunday, January 1, 2017–10 A.M.

We begin a New Year, 2017!  New beginnings offer us a  renewed chance to be our best selves–for ourselves and for our world. Mary, our Mother, Sister and Friend, is a wonderful example as she “treasures all things and reflects on them in her heart” for us as we attempt to find our place in this world and share God’s goodness with all we encounter each day.

Come; celebrate life and love as we strive for peace in our world.

Love to all,

Pastor Kathy
