WE ARE BLESSED ONCE AGAIN! A very generous donor has offered a $25,000.00 matching grant toward all new donations or pledges given to the Vision Fund between June 30-December 31, 2019. This is a chance to double the value of your giving and help our parish pay down the outstanding construction loan on our new addition. All monies given to the Vision For the Future Fund for the matching grant will go to pay down the loan balance. New pledges will count toward the total. Payments on existing pledges do not count toward the match. Envelopes for donations are on the counter in the "new" narthex. Or click on the "Donate" tab on this website and give electronically to the Vision for the Future Fund. Thank you in advance for any help you may give.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
It is with an incredibly heavy heart that I must inform you of tragic news regarding our Bishop. Bishop Paul Sirba suffered cardiac arrest at St. Rose Church in Proctor, MN this morning, December 1st. He was rushed to Essential Health St. Mary's Medical Center in Duluth, where life-saving measures were attempted, but were unsuccessful. He was attended to by Father John Petrich who administered the last rites to him at the hospital. He was declared to have passed away at just after 9:00 A.M. this morning. Words do not adequately express our sorrow at this sudden loss of our Shepherd. We have great hope and faith in Bishop Sirba's resurrection to new life, and have confident assurance that he will hear the words of our Lord: "Well done, good and faithful servant, enter in the joy of your Master."
Arrangements for Bishop Sirba's funeral Mass and burial will be forthcoming. Please pray for the repose of Bishop Sirba's soul, as well as for his mother, Helen, and his siblings, Father Joe, Kathy, and John, and their families. Let us also hold each other up in prayer during this most difficult time.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord... ~And let perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace... ~Amen.
May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God... ~Rest in peace. Amen.
Reverend James B. Bissonette, Diocese of Duluth
