Stewardship Moment: “The community of believers was of one heart and mind, and no one claimed that any of his possessions was his own...” - Acts 4:32 All that we are and all that we have is a gift from God! Think of your family, your friends, your life, your talents and your money – these are all gifts from God! We are not really owners of anything; we are merely “stewards” of the gifts God has blessed us with. We are called to be grateful and generous with all of our gifts for the benefit of others.

Crowning of Mary/First Communicant Potluck: Due to scheduling conflicts for the Beckley family, we will be celebrating Wyatt’s First Eucharist on Sunday April 28th. After Mass, Wyatt and family will do a processional for the Crowning of Mary. Then we will go to the parish center for a potluck meal wishing him well as he will receive his First Eucharist and Confirmation on May 17th. Group 2 will be serving ham, buns, and beverages. A cake will be provided by the Beckley family for dessert. We ask attendees to bring their favorite dish to share. Come celebrate Wyatt and our Mother Mary! 

Join Bishop Folda and the faithful from throughout the diocese for the opening and closing Masses of the historic Third Diocesan Synod.

However, in order to be granted the plenary indulgence offered, you must actually attend the Masses at Sts. Anne and Joachim. There will be no Masses at Sacred Heart on April 11th & 12th as Father & his representatives from Sacred Heart and St. Elizabeth's will be attending the Synod in Fargo.

Holy Father’s Prayer Intention for April: For the Role of Women: We pray that the dignity and immense value of women be recognized in every culture, and for the end of discrimination that they experience in different parts of the world.
