It is always a joy for me to hear stories from families about their Thanksgiving gatherings.

This is a very busy time of year for everyone.  There are plans for the holidays and then shopping for all those holidays.

There is definitely a change of weather in the air.  Hot to snow, to hot and then to cool would indicate that we are now back into the normal flow of the seasons in Minnesota.

We are well back into the swing of things at the parish.  We have more children enrolled in Faith Formation classes then we have had for the past 2 years.  Welcome back!

Did you know that almost 10% of our parishioners move out while others move into the parish every year?  Years ago, we encouraged everyone to stop at a name tag table on the way into the church and to write your name on the tag.

In the near future you will be receiving our annual financial report.  We ended the year with a cash balance instead of being in the red.

Last week I wrote about our need for people to become active in our ministries for their sake as well as the parishes.

As the anxiety about COVID is receding our parish is looking at getting back to doing more of the things that make us who we are.

If you own or are buying your home you know that the job jar never goes empty.  Rooms need to be painted.  Carpeting needs to be replaced. Appliances wear out.  The roof, yard, air conditioning or furnace need constant care.  The church is our community home.

We continue to see new faces in our pews.  Some families have moved into the area.  Some families have transferred parishes.  Some are babies who are now being baptized.  All are welcome.
