We all need prayer. Our priest needs prayer too! We are starting a group at our cluster parishes to offer Holy Hours for Father KK. It is a simple structure designed by the Seven Sisters Apostolate. All we need are at least seven women to get this started. Clink the logo above to visit their website and contact the parish office at 218-246-8582 if you are interested!
40 Days for Life
"Never tire of firmly speaking out in defense of life from conception. Christ is with you: BE NOT AFRAID." St. Pope John Paul II.
Precious babies continue to loose their lives in their mothers' wombs, and newly pregnant moms often receive misinformation. Abortions happen weekly in the "WE Building for Women" Abortion Clinic in Duluth. From September 27 - November 5, 2023 you are invited to participate and support 40 Day for Life Prayer Vigil and Fasting to End Abortion. You are needed to give public witness by peacefully praying from 7am-7pm at 32 E First Street, Duluth, MN 55802. Parishes are also strongly encouraged to take on a block of time, each week, for several hours or for half-day. You can sign up for pray hours/blocks at 40daysforlife.com/duluth or contact Kathy Cory-Whitmyer BSN, RN at mkcory-whitmyer@charter.net or 218-390-8560. God's innocent little children need our prayers and voices.

A Prayer attributed to St. Charles:
Almighty God, you have generously made known to man the mysteries of your life through Jesus Christ your Son in the Holy Spirit. Enlighten my mind to know these mysteries which your Church treasures and teaches.
Move my heart to love them and my will to live in accord with them. Give me the ability to teach this Faith to others without pride, without ostentation, and without personal gain.
Let me realize that I am simply your instrument for bringing others to the knowledge of the wonderful things you have done for all your creatures. Help me to be faithful to this task that you have entrusted to me. Amen.

Editorial: Marriage season is here
07/12/23 4:18 pm
Amid all the splendor of a northern Minnesota summer, don’t miss one of its most beautiful aspects: weddings. It’s the time of year many couples choose to begin their lives together.
In our diocesan vocations prayer, alongside vocations to the priesthood, consecrated life, and permanent diaconate, we pray so often at Masses for an increase in “holy marriages in our diocese.” Society is undergoing a crisis of marriage and family. But it’s also true that the sacrament of marriage brings hope to society.

In the public policy context, this means that policies should first be evaluated based on how they will affect those most in distress (Matthew 25). It also means that addressing the needs of the poor and vulnerable should be one of the most important priorities in the legislative process, at whatever level of government.
