Through the generosity of several parishioners and from the efforts of Ann Volkert, Cemetery Committee, Kathy 

Gergen-Mandel, Administration Commission, and Parish Staff, the Cross has been refurbished and Corpus replaced at St. Joseph's Cemetery. The work consisted of:

              * Sandblasting and re-coating  the                                 original Cross

              * Purchasing a new Corpus since the                          previous Corpus was beyond repair                        due to years of being in elements

       * Proper disposition of the previous                     Corpus

              * Mounting the new Corpus on the                              Cross, therefore creating a new                                  Crucifix

The funds to be raised at our Parish Garage Sale (going on now) will be used to offset the refurbishment costs.

 

Please take a moment to view this wonderful monument that resides over the final resting place of our fellow Catholic Christians.

 

It is time for new worship aids!  

To accommodate our weekly liturgies and provide copies for musicians, we will need 750 hymnals at a cost of $15,000.  We are offering you an opportunity to donate $30 per Gather III hymnal.  Donations may be made in honor of someone living, or as a memorial for a deceased loved one.  There will be a small bookplate in the front of each new hymnal to honor the designated individual.

We will offer 3 ways for you to make a donation...

We have envelopes below the Monitor in the Gathering Space.  

You find a form to clip out in the Bulletin and turn into the Parish Office. Or click here 

 

Thank you to all those who've made a donation...this update includes all donations made by June 5th.

Fr. James Peterson from our Archdiocesan mission parish in Venezuela will present our annual mission appeal on the weekend of June 24-25. The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis has had a unique relationship with the Diocese of Ciudad Guayana since 1970 sending our archdiocesan priests to serve parishes there. Today, two priests serve the parish of Jesucristo Resucitado in San Felix. This diocese suffers from 70% unemployment and a lack of healthcare and basic nutrition. Fr. Peterson will speak about the needs of the poor and needy within the 11 barrios of the parish. He will be seeking our financial support for this mission of evangelization, lifting human dignity and giving opportunities for growth.

office will be open as follows:
