HOW DID YOU HEAR THE GOOD NEWS TODAY?

Next week’s collection supports the Bishops’ Catholic Communication Campaign (CCC). For more then 25 years, the CCC has been spreading the Gospel message locally and nationally on radio, television, in print, and on the Internet. It is only through donations from Catholic parishioners that the work of CCC is possible. Please contribute generously to the upcoming parish collection.

Experience Life at Mount St Benedict – Crookston: Starting 9:00 am Monday June 9 through 6:30pm Saturday June 14.

SACRAMENTAL LIFE

Reconciliation: Half hour before Mass or by appointment.

Infant Baptism: Catechetical Class is required; please contact Fr. Bob early during pregnancy or adoption.

Marriage: All Catholics who have made a decision to enter marriage must see a priest six months prior to the desired date of marriage. If a Catholic is contemplating marriage to a non-Catholic, the Catholic must still contact a priest to fulfill the requirements of the Catholic Church for the marriage to be validly recognized by the Church.

Anointing of the Sick: Please call Fr. Bob especially before surgery or in case of serious illness.

Shut-Ins: If you know anyone who cannot come to Church, please let the office know so they can be on a visiting schedule by a minister.

Voice of Reason Radio KVXR, AM 1280, your New Catholic Radio Station.

THE PROPER MASS PROTOCOL IS that the priest is always the last one in and the first one out.

Safe Environment-Get Involved

Parents and guardians play a key role in the success of parish programs for young people. Parents and guardians who are involved in parish programs and events will be in the best position to protect their own children as well as all the children in the parish community. Involvement and communication are important factors in helping to ensure safe environments for all of our children.

Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship.

We are pleased to announce the launch of an exciting new 2008 Faithful Citizenship Web Site (www.faithfulcitizenship.org) with lots of resources for individuals, parishes, and other groups. We hope you will find it helpful as you share the message of Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship in your parishes, schools, dioceses and other organizations.

You will find a wide range of resources for prayer and worship, educational programs, family discussions, social concerns and pro-life committees, and many other groups and ministries.

The Faithful Citizenship web site will regularly be updated as new materials are added. In particular, the temporary Spanish page will soon be replaced by a complete Faithful Citizenship web site in Spanish. The temporary "young Catholics" page will be replaced by a lively section specifically for youth and young adults that will have interactive activities, podcasts, streaming videos, and other resources and activities. We will keep you informed as these changes are made.
