As faithful Catholics, we rec- ognize that there is more to freedom than simply be- ing at liberty to make our lives what we want them to be. St. John Paul II reminds us: "Freedom is not just doing what we can, it is doing what we ought." We become freer within ourselves and within our rela- tionships when we choose what is right and good. This Independence Day, let's continue to pursue vir- tue and good character and encourage others to do this same. ©LPi Mass cancellation/Office closed The Parish Office will be closed on Thursday, July 4 and Friday, July 5th.

Greetings friends,
This is my last article as your pastor. On July 1, 2019 Fr Jerome Tupa OSB will be become pastor of St. John the Baptist of College, while remain-ing pastor of Church of St. Joseph, St. Joseph, MN and Fr. Edward Vebelun OSB will become pastor of the Church of St. Benedict, Avon, MN while re-maining pastor of the parishes in Albany, St Martin and St Anthony. This re-ordering of our parishes is part of the larger diocesan plan in which the 131 parishes will be grouped in 29 Area Catholic Communities.
As of July 1, I will become a Sacramental Minister for the Albany Area Catholic Communities, joining Fr Edward Vebelun OSB and Fr Julius Beckerman in serving those parishes. My title of Sacramental Minister is a part-time position in which my main responsibility will be to celebrate mass and other pastoral duties as needed and lead adult faith formation ses-sions. I will continue to live at St. John’s but will move out of the monastery to one of the dorms this summer and become a Faculty Resident for 200 sophomores. As you can see, I will be kept busy but less meetings and more doing what I love.
It is with sadness that says goodbye to my friends in Collegeville. I feel very blessed to have been your pastor over these last 5 years. It has been a great privilege to be able to be with you in times of sorrow and cel ebration. Be assured of my continued prayers for you. Please give a warm welcome your new pastors.
May we prefer nothing whatsoever to Christ and may he bring us all to eternal life. Buen Camino. Pax, Fr. Greg
