We begin the Catholic Services Appeal the weekend of February 14, 2010.  Through our connection to the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, we are called by the Gospel to serve in ways that benefit the wider Church and help us to reach out to people beyond our parish who are in need of assistance.

For more information on this year's appeal, "We Are One Body", follow the link at www.archspm.org and on the left side, click "We Are One Body".

Dear Parishioner,

Welcome to our parish family. The website information is designed to help you know our parish and to become part of our community. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to stop in at the parish office or talk with us after liturgy.

We are an established parish since the 1850's, but we are growing younger every day because of the transition of our area. We have a long history which enables us to recall and yet adapt to the present changing community. We have experienced many changes during our parish's lifetime.

We continue to deepen in the strengths of the parish: Prayer, worship, and education of our members in the ways of God. The power of prayer is directed to all the individuals of the parish. The silence and prayer after Mass is an important time for us. Our worship deepens our contact and relationship with God: our creator, rescuer, sustainer. Our young are taught the ways of faith by the example and stories of our lives with God.

We welcome you. We hope and pray that you will grow with us as we journey on our life's road to the Lord.

Peace,
Fr. Thomas Hill
Pastor
