World Mission Sunday Collection

Weekend of October 22

This week in every parish around the world, a collection is being taken up for Catholic missions in over 1150 dioceses. Your contribution will go towards helping teachers and catechists in urban centers and remote villages. You will help to build churches and chapels in mission stations for people to worship, hear God’s word and receive sacraments. We will help in the effort to raise up and train new leaders who will minister to people in their own language. Your financial gift will go to the Society for the Propagation of the Faith which is a worldwide Catholic network of mission cooperation to enable the Gospel of Jesus Christ to reach to ends of the earth. Thank you for joining in this central work of the Church!

Book of Remembrance

Those who have died before us live on in our memory and hearts. We would like to invite you to honor your loved ones by signing their names in the church’s Book of Remembrance located near the baptismal font. The book will remain up for the month of November. The Community will remember these loved ones in prayer. Housebound parishioners may call the office at 952-935-5536 to enter names of their beloved dead.
