Welcome!
You have each been through such a roller coaster these past weeks! It has been difficult to keep up with all of the updates, and they just keep coming. I want to let you know that you have been in my prayers in a special way, especially at Mass and when I pray the rosary. With so much turmoil, where do we turn? We are making the best (I hope) of this situation, and have a few plans in place:
- How we celebrate the Mass is ever-changing. Get the latest information here.
- The church will open daily for personal prayer M-F 9 am - 8 pm and Sunday 2-8 pm.
- We have devotional items such as holy water, blessed candles, rosaries and prayer books, for you to take home in our Gathering Area.
- Reconciliation is celebrated Saturdays from 4-5 pm in the lower level of church. In case of emergency, Reconciliation can be requested by calling the parish office.
- If you are in need of Anointing of the Sick or Viaticum, please let us know and we will do our best to arrange to celebrate those Sacraments.
- Our great staff is still working! Please reach out to any of us with your needs, prayer requests, or for a conversation.
I want to remind you that all of this is still dependent on your generosity. Please consider signing up for online giving, or mail in your envelopes to the office.
4135 - 18 Ave NW, Rochester, MN 55901.
Thank you!Yours in Christ,Fr. Will ThompsonPastor -
