This
weekend I would like to share some wonderful experiences we have had for the
last six months.
We
are blessed as we are on the last stretch to sell our rectory and buy a new
house—praise God! Thank you to our
parishioners, members in our committees, realtors and Northland Counseling
Center to support this movement. I
will also share two dates as soon as I can. The first is the time to bless our rectory. I have spoke with members at Northland
Counseling Center and we are all excited for this relationship. To do so, we will show our faith and love
to support our community. As we
pass forward our house, the Northland Counseling Center will serve men and
women who need it to grow through addictions, mental illness and detox. The second is the closing date. Please continue to pray for this
process!
I
also loved our first Baccalaureate Mass for our parishioners who graduated from
high school. This took place on
Sunday, May 28th at St. Thomas Aquinas church and graduates from
Littlefork, Falls and a home school came to God’s “school”. It was a powerful Mass to walk with
these young men and women as they begin the next steps in their journey. We will continue this Baccalaureate
Mass in the future.
Our
school took an important step: we hired Alison Fischbach to teach our preschool
children. At the same time our
principal—Dawn Flesland—will have more hours to hone her leadership and
administrative to support her responsibilities for our school. Please continue to pray for our school.
Finally,
I continue to know how important your missions from Jesus Christ support our
brothers and sisters, the poor, the sick, our parishes, our diocese and our
school. Keep up your great work!
As
my third year at St. Thomas Aquinas and St. Columban finishes up, the fourth
year (and hopefully many more!) are on the way.
Praise
God!
