Calling All New Lions! Registration for all students, elementary, middle school and high school, is now open at Bishop Ryan Catholic School! If you’ve ev-er considered Catholic education for your family, now is a great time to learn what makes Bishop Ryan so special. We have limited availability in our preschool program for children who are bathroom-trained and three-years-old by July 31, 2021. We’re current-ly welcoming all students in grades 1-12. For more information or schedule a tour, please call Jaimie at (701) 838-3355 or email jbrunner@brhs.com.

We’re Hiring: Amazing things are going on in the hallways and classrooms of Bishop Ryan Catholic School, and our faculty and staff have distinct opportu-nities to instill virtue and celebrate faith while encour-aging our students to achieve academically and social-ly. If you are called to be part of something special in Catholic education, Ryan may be the place for you! We are currently seeking applications for a secondary religion instructor, secondary Spanish instructor, and student aides for the 2021-2022 school year. For more information or to apply, please contact elemen-tary principal Tanya Steckler or secondary principal Chase Lee at (701) 838-3355.

SCRIP: Scrip gift cards as gifts and to pay for your purchases are available after the weekend Masses, in the parish office and at Bishop Ryan. Using Scrip gift cards helps support Bishop Ryan Catholic School and families for their tuition. Scrip is available for Amazon orders, groceries, gas, dining out, household supplies, clothing, furniture, ve-hicles, tires & accessories, eye care, bikes, and more.

Living Stewardship We are accountable for the gifts God has given us on Earth – our time, talent and treasure. One day

each of us will be asked by God what we did with those gifts. How will I respond?

Society of St. Vincent de Paul In today’s Gospel we see how in faith, Jarius asked Jesus to heal his daughter and how Jesus then answered his prayer.

In prayer we also come to know we are loved by God, and in that trust we ask for healing for ourselves, our loved ones and all those who are suffering. This week, please join with the Society of St. Vincent de Paul in praying for the healing of all those who are ill and especially those who have no one to pray for them.

Stewardship Thought Today’s reading from St. Paul explains the “divine economy” of stewardship –

“The relief of others ought not to impoverish you; there should be a certain equality. Your plenty at the present time should supply their need so that

their surplus may in turn one day supply your need.”

Safe Environment Teach Kids to Protect Themselves at Home

We consider our homes to be safe places for our children. But being home alone can pose risks for chil-dren. Here are a few tips to teach kids that will help keep them safe when you are not with them at home: Never answer the door if alone. Do not invite anyone in the house without the permission of a parent or babysitter. Don’t tell anyone on the phone that your parents are not home. Instead, tell them that your par-ents can’t come to the phone, and take a message. Source: “Know the Rules … After School Safety Tips for Children Who Are Home Alone.”

The positive effects of Reconciliation We are at peace with God again!
