At the table, we will be promoting the pictorial directory and assisting parishioners who will be signing up for a photography session. Please be at the table 20 minutes before Mass and then again immediately after Mass for about 20 minutes.

Pastor's Welcome
It is my pleasure to tell you about our community of faith and to invite you into our mission to build the Kingdom of God, here and now, through our witness of a lived faith, as Disciples of Christ.
As we walk this path of life together toward the fullness of God, we have been given the sacraments to help us along the way. The sacraments give us grace to help us in different places, situations, and stages of our life. Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation initiate us into full membership of the Body of Christ. Confession and the Anointing of the Sick are sacraments of healing, which Jesus has given us for the forgiveness of sins and strength in sickness. Marriage and Holy Orders are sacraments of service that afford us grace in our families and for the ministry of the priesthood and diaconate.
We are a worshiping community in the liturgy of the Eucharist. We share in God’s desire for the salvation of all and He has given us the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in which we listen to His Word and receive Him Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity in the Eucharist. God wants us to worship Him once a week at our weekend Masses for the salvation of the world. Please join us for our 5:00 PM Saturday evening Mass or on Sunday morning at the 8:30 AM or 10:30 AM Masses, and a 1:30 PM Mass in Spanish.
Also, we have a wonderful Catholic school. We take pride in our school as it has been voted the “Best Private School” in Elk River for several years in a row. But we are blessed most of all, in that, besides the great teaching of reading, writing, and arithmetic, we can talk about and learn about the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ.

Prayer for the Intercession of

Help us to be Christ-like as Kingdom Builders, casting our nets in faith and bringing the Gospel message to others. Amen.
