Last week you received a stewardship letter from our pastorate. There was a mix-up in our data that had letters sent to all individual members in our pastorate instead of each household. I want to express how sorry we are for any displeasure this may have caused. We have taken immediate steps to prevent this type of mistake in the future.
This weekend I will speak more about this stewardship. In the meantime, please reflect on what is God leading you to do. Perhaps He is encouraging you to become more active in our pastorate or commit more time to prayer. If He is leading you to give financially, there are a couple different ways to do this. The simplest way is to use the QR codes provided on the envelopes to setup one time or recurring donations or visit our website.
I appreciate your commitment to our pastorate and thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Fr. Chad M. Droessler
Congratulations & God’s blessings to Charlie Zahn, who was baptized on October 22, 2023!

Faith Formation Night
Daughters of Mary, Filae Mariae“You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.” -Matthew 22:37
Do you put other “gods” before God? Is your love of money, power, status, comfort or some personal possession greater than your love for God? Do you recognize that everything you have and that everything you are is a gift from God? Putting God first in everything helps keep us from becoming a slave to our possessions and to our pride.UpdatesAll Saints Day & All Souls DayAll Saints Day: Wednesday is the Solemnity of All Saints Day, a holy day of obligation.
