There will be no in-person classes this year at St. Kateri Church due to the fact that the religious education house is being sold and a new facility is being built. We do not know the date of completion on the new center, for this reason we will hold classes at St. Peter Parish for the St. Kateri students. Families will also have the choice of homeschooling or attending at Our Lady of Lourdes.
Thank you for your understanding.
Teachers Need!
We Need Catechists at all three parishes in our Collaborative. Please prayerfully consider sharing your faith with the children of our parishes. We will equip you with everything you need to succeed and be there to support you every step of the way!

"People may spend their whole lives climbing the ladder of success only to find, once they reach the top, that the ladder is leaning against the wrong wall." -Thomas Merton
So let's ask ourselves, where is my ladder leaning? Are we chasing the right goals...
Let's make it a great day today, moment by moment. Christ is counting on us!

Gentle Blessings- The Gift of Song
Calling all singers to this beautiful ministry of song!
This a cappella group sings in nursing homes (at the bedside) for those in need of comfort and healing through song.
The gift of music is simple, beautiful, and soothing. You are invited to gather once a month on the 3rd Saturday from 10am-11am in St. Peter Lower Church Hall. The group rehearses together, preparing a repertoire of songs to be sung at the bedside of those in need. All are most welcome to come and sing with the group.
Next session: Saturday, September 18th! COVID protocols are followed.
For more information, please call Ann Cussen at Extension: #305.
Did you Miss the New Website? Our Collaborative has been working for several months on a new collaborative website to replace the three individual parish websites. We strongly believe this new, more robust website will better meet the needs of all parishioners in our Collaborative.
