The readings for the celebration of Easter talk a lot about death, at least for a day when we are celebrating the opposite. But that’s for good reason: without Christ’s death, there would be no resurrection — not for him, and not for us.

We currently need new volunteers for the following rosters, for both weekday and Lord’s Day Masses: Greeters, Eucharistic Ministers, Lectors, Ushers. Can you help?

Eucharistic Ministers are no longer required to wear masks when distributing Communion. The priest celebrant will continue to wear a mask during Communion.

Lent is perhaps our greatest annual opportunity to make a concerted effort to turn back to the Lord. Whether we are walking closely with him or have strayed far away, all of us are invited to turn again from our sins and earthly attachments and seek him ever more fervently.

The Blessed Sacrament will be reposed beginning with Mass today at 5:00 PM through 3:00 PM tomorrow due to inclement weather.

Our Director of Liturgy and Music, Patrick Henning, has decided to step down from his position to pursue other opportunities.

Deacon Don Tienter will preach all Masses this weekend to share the work of our society, and there will be a second collection at each. Please be generous so we can continue our help to the poor in 2022.

We have a new vacant hour in need of a weekly committed adorer on Fridays from 8:00-9:00 PM.

Nativity of Our Lord, celebrating 100 years in 2022, has proclaimed the historical event and theological reality of Christ's birth for a century, thanks be to God.

Sunday at the 11:00 AM Mass we celebrate the Rites of Acceptance and Welcoming for our RCIA Catechumens and Candidates, an essential step along the way towards full initiation into our Catholic Church.

Our annual Stewardship Sunday is grounded firmly in a deep sense of gratitude. I invite you again to reflect on the abundant gifts that God has given us, remembering that the gifts that we have been given were meant to be shared.

The Twin Cities Marathon may affect your route to church this weekend, as parts of Summit Avenue will be closed Saturday and Sunday.

Pick up a prayer card at the doors of church and join us in praying for our catechists who will be teaching our children in Faith Formation this year.

Any burden that is laying on your heart will be lifted up daily in prayer by nearly 30 faithful members on our prayer team in a confidential manner.

We are now taking signups for Adoration hours from 9am-3pm on Wednesdays, and will offer Adoration throughout those times as soon as we have each of the six hours covered with commitments.

RCIA is the process by which persons who were never baptized, or were baptized in another Christian tradition, become members of the Church, a people on pilgrimage to our Heavenly Father.

Last week we sent home a letter to each of our registered parishioner households explaining our new Sunday Mass schedule. If you haven't received one yet, please let us know!

In order to accommodate increasing congregational sizes, we are adding an additional weekly Sunday morning Mass at 7:30am, and moving our current weekly 8:15am Sunday Mass to 9am.

Julia Waters (class of '13) was inspired by missionaries to boldly live her faith and has heard the Lord inviting her to bring him to more students as a missionary herself.

We are now able to officially expand our Adoration hours on Tuesday nights (10pm-12am), Wednesday mornings (12am-8am), and Wednesday afternoons (3pm-5:30pm).
