TWO IMPORTANT CHANGES TO SCHEDULES:

• Beginning Wednesday, June 6th, the Wednesday morning Mass will be at 8:00am through the summer months.

The Alzheimer's/Dementia Support Group meets on Tuesday, June 5th at 10:00am in the Church Library If you have recently (or not so recently) experienced the loss of a loved one, please join with others who are also trying to cope with a loss. It is generally easier to walk this road with someone else who understands and has learned a few ways to deal with the pain. Please stop by!

Attention: Communion Ministers, Lectors & Altar Servers

What is the purpose of Eucharistic Adoration? The Eucharist is the greatest gift given to the Church, the abiding presence of Jesus who desires to feed us, heal us, strengthen us and mold us into his own body. At the Second Vatican Council, the Church fathers wrote, “The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life.” (Lumen Gentium 11).
Can you spend one hour each week with Our Eucharistic Lord? Experience the peace and hope that you will find in prayer. We have openings in the weekly schedule on Monday at 3:00pm, 5:00pm and 6:00pm. Other times are available as well. Please sign-up online at adorationpro.org/lakemn (click on Weekly Commitment) or for more information, call Jane at 952-472-3825.
