TEC (Together Encountering Christ) is a three-day retreat based on the Paschal Mystery.  It’s. It’s an opportunity to discover more about yourself, connect with other faith-based individuals, and deepen your relationship with Christ. A TEC weekend offers a space to show up authentically and celebrate God’s unconditional love.  It has been described as action-packed, life-changing, affirming, and unforgettable. Join our community of over 40,000 who have made a TEC in Central Minnesota.  Three days might just change your life. Open to anyone ages 16+.  Scholarships are available, contact your parish office.​

​

​​​Health Emergency Volunteers Needed - We are blessed to have a medical facility close to our church if needed; however, what do we do when a parishioner or guest needs assistance during Mass? Typically, this is where the Ushers step in, but not all of our ushers have medical training. Therefore, we would like to compile a list of active parishioners who are willing and able to be consulted DURING Mass or to help with the use of the AED in the dining hall during a medical emergency. If you would like your name added to this list, please contact the parish office or Tina Dickson. 532-5038 / c.dickson18@frontier.com

​

Volunteers needed to help lend a hand – Staff at Lake Song Assisted Living Memory Care have brought to our attention that there are residents that would like to attend mass on Sundays.  Due to staff limitations they are unable to bring them to mass. We are looking for volunteers to go over to Lake Song and pick up the resident at 8:45 a.m., bring them to mass (staying with them during mass) and then return them to Lake Song when mass is over. If you would be willing to help in this ministry, please contact Kathy at the parish office 320-532-3122. Thank you in advance!

 

​Recovery Works - The Freedom Center is offering a new opportunity open to anyone in a recovery program.  It is called "Recovery Works" and it is held from 7:00 P.M. until 8:00 P.M. every Monday in the basement of the Holy Cross Center.

​

WHAT IS A PRAYER LINE? A Prayer Line is a line of communication among believers who are willing to be “on call” to pray for a specific need. The set up allows prayer requests to be relayed immediately without waiting.  You can be a part of this very important ministry, receiving prayer requests either by phone or by e-mail.  Call Mavonne at 651-276-3317; Kathy at the Parish Office 320-532-3122 or Tina Dickson at 320-532-5038, if you would like to use your time and talents in this way.  Also, if you have a prayer request for a specific need, call the Parish Office or Tina Dickson.
