This is My Parish

This is my parish. It is composed of people like me.
We will make it what it is. It will be friendly, if I am.
Its pews will be filled, if I help to fill them.
It will make generous gifts to many causes,
if I am a generous giver.
It will bring other people to its worship and fellowship,
if I bring them.
It will be a church of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and faith,
and a church with a noble spirit, if I,
who make it what it is, am filled with these qualities.
Therefore, with the help of God, I shall dedicate myself
to the task of being all things that I want my church to be.

Ministry Days June 18-19, 2024 at
Saint Mary’s University in Winona:
You are the Salt of the Earth: Baptized for Mission
Register by May 20. This year's focus will be the third year of
the Eucharistic Revival: The Year of Mission. It will place our
attention on the role each of us is called to play in sharing the
Gospel. Our theme comes from the Gospel of Matthew 5:13,
"You are the salt of the earth."

Our keynote speaker on Tuesday
morning will be Deacon Keith Strohm, Executive Director of
M3Ministries. We will pray with and hear from Bishop Barron
as well as he will be celebrating Holy Mass both days. Finally,
on Wed., we will be offering breakout sessions that are
ministry/ apostolate-specific and will be led by diocesan staff
and other great leaders.

All clergy, parish staff, parish
volunteers, and apostolate leaders are encouraged to attend.
