A Note from our Pastor, Fr. Matthew Crane

TOTUS TUUS AND RELICS OF STS. JOHN FISHER AND THOMAS MORE The week of July 10-15, 2016, our Company of Parishes will have the opportunity to host a team from the Totus Tuus Program, a young-adult administered evangelical program something like a combination between NET Team and VBS. Weekday mornings, St. Joseph’s in Bertha will host a program for elementary schoolers from 9:30 AM to 2:30 PM. In the evenings, Christ the King will host a program for middle and high schoolers from 7:00 to 9:00 PM. The Sacraments are a central piece with confession in Bertha at 10:45 AM, followed by Mass at 11:15. There is no fee, but the Elementary Schoolers are asked to bring a bag lunch. Flyers are available in the entries of the parish church buildings. Also, just a reminder, there is a screening of A Man for All Seasons at 5 PM on Monday, June 27, at the Cathedral of St. Mary in St. Cloud, followed by an opportunity to pray a Holy Hour for religious freedom and venerate the relics of Sts. Thomas More and John Fisher. Sincerely in Christ, Fr. Matthew Crane

NOTE: Fishers of Men Fish-a-thon is Postponed! Thanks for everyone’s interest in the Fishers of Men Fish-a-thon! The Catholic Foundation’s summer is packed with great events, but we see we need more time – of which we are short! – to dedicate to making the Fish-a-thon a memorable, annual event; therefore we are postponing the Fish-a-thon, originally scheduled for July 9th, to a later date, which we will advertise in the future. We’re edified by your desire to support our seminarians through this event, and we hope you’ll join us for what will be a bigger and better Fish-a-thon a little later!
