Pastoral Reflections- Fr. Tim Wenzel

For our weekend Masses begining February 6/7, we will resume the usual practice of sharing the sign of peace and using the cup at Communion time.  Bishop Kinney lifted the precautions.  Thanks for your coopration during this time.  I am grateful that there was not a serious outbreak of H1N1 flu in our area.
I will be giving a talk on the Bible to the Adult Faith Formation Class on Wednesday, February 3, 6:30 pm, at Immaculate Conception Church, Rice.  Everyone is welcome.  It is my hope that this class will make the Bible easier to use and understand, so that we may more readily experience the power of God's word.


I would like to call your attention to the Annual Diocesan Appeal.  I encourage your support because the Appeal helps fund some very worthwhile programs, including the Pro-life cause, TV Mass, Catholic Education Ministries, Faith Formation, Marriage and Family Life, and the Deaconate.  All parishioners will receive a letter from Bishop Kinney about this appeal.  Thank you for your response.

Welcome home!

Dan Gerads recently returned home from deployment in Iraq.  We extend our sincere welcome to hime and thank him and all service men and women for their service to our country.  It is a sacrafice on their part and on the part of their families and we are grateful to them.  May the Lord bless you all. 

Congratulations!
