NO CONFESSIONS BEFORE SATURDAY EVENING MASS: There will be no celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation on Saturday evening. Fr. Patrick is on vacation and one priest is covering Masses at both St. Pius X and Holy Family, making it impossible to be available for confessions.

2013 CALENDARS: Thanks to a generous gift from the Maresh Funeral Home we will once again be offering our parishioners calendars. These beautiful calendars will be blessed at Masses for the Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God on December 31 and January 1. The blessed calendars will then be distributed to be used in our homes as a reminder of the holiness of time.

THANK YOU: We thank Brian and Julie Stibal for many years of service as coordinators of our parish’s weekly Eucharistic Adoration. Their generous service has helped our parish to come to a deeper appreciation for and love of the Eucharist as well as offering us the opportunity to pray in the presence of the Lord each week. They have decided to leave this ministry and to pursue other opportunities of service. Celia Knoll will coordinate this ministry beginning January 1. If you have questions about Eucharistic Adoration please contact Celia at the parish office.

THANK YOU to all who donated to the CCW Baby Shower for the Birthright Crisis Pregnancy Center. We had a wonderful response.

2013 CALENDARS: Thanks to a generous gift from the Johnson-McBride Funeral Home, Bump’s Family Restaurant, My Own Body Shop and First Minnesota Bank we will once again be offering our parishioners calendars. These beautiful calendars will be blessed at Masses for the Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God on December 31 and January 1. The blessed calendars will then be distributed to be used in our homes as a reminder of the holiness of time.

THANK YOU: After 15 years of serving our parish as money counters, Len and Gert Noga and Kenny and Gladys Donnay are retiring from this ministry. Their faithful and often unnoticed ministry to our parish is an example of self-less and generous ministry to our parish. May the Lord bless them for their generosity and accompany them as they serve our community in other areas.

Area Faith Community News

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP: The Blessed John Paul II Area Faith Community parish liturgy committees thank the dozens of people who helped prepare our churches for the celebration of Christmas. The beautiful and prayerful atmospheres at all three churches during this season depended on their generous offering of time on a hectic day for us all. We are especially grateful to them for their hard work. There were so many people that it is impossible to thank them by name in this space, and we hope that they will receive this thank you in recognition for their generous efforts.

YOUR PRIESTS THANK YOU: We are grateful for the wishes, prayers, gifts and cards that we received from so many of you during the Christmas season. Your expressions of support and affection for us were moving and very much appreciated. Be assured that we hold you and your families in our prayers and thoughts these holy days. Once again thank you for remembering us.

Fr. Patrick, Fr. Paul and Fr. Tony

JOIN US IN SUPPORT OF LIFE AT PRO-LIFE RALLY JANUARY 22: The Church of the Holy Trinity will be coordinating the Blessed John Paul II Area Faith Community’s participation in the annual January 22, 2013, pro-life rally in St. Paul. Holy Trinity Parish will be sponsoring a bus from Holy Trinity on Tuesday, January 22, 2013 to attend the Pro-Life Rally in St. Paul. We will leave Holy Trinity at 9:00 and attend the ecumenical service at the St. Paul Cathedral. From there we will walk to the State Capitol and join the March for Life with hundreds of others. Plan to pack a bag lunch to eat on the bus on the way home. Be sure to dress warmly as we will spend more than an hour outside in the cold. If you are interested in riding the bus please sure to reserve your seat by contacting Elaine Kahle at 320-485-2182 ext 2779 or email her at [email protected]. Students from Holy Trinity High School will need a permission slip signed by their parent. Permission slips can be picked up at the Holy Trinity High School or can be downloaded from the Holy Trinity website on the Campus Minister page at www.winstedholytrinity.org. Students from other schools who plan to attend will have to have their parents arrange excused absences from school as well as have the permission slips mentioned above. We hope to have a great showing from The Blessed John Paul II Area Faith Community.

THE SACREDNESS OF TIME: As we begin a new year and put up our 2013 calendars it is a good time to remember the sacredness of time. The Liturgical Year in the calendars you receive from generous donors to our parishes remind us that our days and months are a celebration of the mercy, goodness and grace of God. Let us, as Mary did, ponder the wonders of God in our hearts and thank him for the holiness of time.
