App Feature of the Week: PRAYER
Here is another great way to grow this Lenten Season… our App features many of the traditional prayers of our faith and you can even set a prayer reminder to help you remember and form a new daily habit of prayer, or use it to submit a prayer request to the Church Office!
This is a great time to incorporate more prayer in your life…
If you have not installed our app to your Smartphone yet, NOW is the time!
Go to www.myparishapp.com from your phone and get it now!

Would you like to share the joy of Easter with the residents of Lake Minnetonka Shores? We need volunteers to bring Communion to them on Easter morning from 7:30 - 8:15am.

5 Session Catholicism Study! This Monday, March 12, we will discuss the Sacrament of Reconciliation: why we should utilize this sacrament and the role of the priest in granting the forgiveness from God. If you have not received this sacrament for a while, and have some fears or hesitation in doing so, come and understand how this prepares us to worthily receive the Eucharist. Please note that the Lenten Reconciliation Service is Thursday, March 15, at 6:30pm giving us an opportunity to experience the peace of God’s forgiveness. 

Adoration of Our Lord in the Eucharist Jesus loves us so much that He chose to remain with us in His glorified human body veiled in the Holy
Eucharist. How do we repay this love? By simply visiting Him.Please feel free to stop in for silent prayer with Our Lord in the John Paul II Chapel during the hours of Eucharistic Adoration, or you may schedule your own hour online at adorationpro.org/lakemn  Please call Jane at 952-472-3825 if you have any questions.
