Stewardship Moment: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son…” - John 3:16 Of all the wonderful gifts that God has given to us, the gift of His own Son is truly the greatest. How can we ever thank God for a gift like that? God does not ask us to sacrifice our own precious firstborn, but He does ask that we are grateful and generous with our God-given gifts. That we nurture and develop our gifts, and in gratitude, generously give back with increasing our time in prayer, our talent in charitable works and our treasure to support the mission and ministry of our parish and greater Church.


Communal Penance Service will be celebrated TODAY, March 10th at 7:00 p.m. at Sacred Heart. We will have 4 priests available. Every member of the Catholic Church is highly encouraged to make a good “Sacramental Confession” during Lent. 

Heavenly Wisdom by Venerable Fulton Sheen: “You cannot always depend on prayers to be answered the way you want them answered, but you can always depend on God. God, the loving Father often denies us those things which in the end would prove harmful to us. Every boy wants a revolver at age four, and no father has ever granted that request. Why should we think God is less wise? Someday we will thank God not only for what He gave us, but also for that which He refused.” 

Our Sacred Sisters event will be held on April 6th at 10 a.m. in the Sacred Heart Hall. Roxane Salonen from Fargo will talk on "Friendship with Jesus: A Journey in Faith". Most of you probably recognize her from "Sidewalk Stories" in the New Earth magazine. The event is free, but Roxane will have her books for sale if you want to purchase them. We will also have door prizes, brunch and be entertained by “Nunsense”. Please call or text one of the numbers below to RSVP by March 24th, as seating is limited. Also, let us know if you did not receive a post card invitation. We look forward to seeing you! Bernadine Anderson – 653-5586 or Shelly Kurtz – 653-5204.

 Holy Father’s Prayer Intention for March: For the New Martyrs: We pray that those who risk their lives for the Gospel in various parts of the world inflame the Church with their courage and missionary enthusiasm.

NATIONAL EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL INTERCESSION: For our nation, that the Eucharistic presence of Jesus may bring joy, expectant faith, and revival of the Christian life, let us pray to the Lord.

Stewardship Moment: “You shall not carve idols for yourselves in the shape of anything…” - Exodus 20:4 How many “gods” do you put before God? “Idols” do not always take the shape of physical things, things we can touch and feel. Those are easy to recognize. Many times they take the form of things we cannot touch and are much harder to spot like pride, power, ego, time, comfort, or health. Pray for God’s help to prune our vices and to grow in virtue.


Last weekend was our parish Commitment Weekend for the 2024 God’s Gift Appeal. If you have not yet completed your card, please prayerfully make your pledge and return it to the church office. Penance Service for grades 2-12 will be held on Wednesday, March 6th at 7:00 p.m. There will be 5-6 priests available. 

Communal Penance Service will be celebrated next Sunday, March 10th at 7:00 p.m. at Sacred Heart. We will have 4 priests available. Every member of the Catholic Church is highly encouraged to make a good “Sacramental Confession” during Lent. Let us pray for each other that God will help us make a good examination of conscience so that we may all be relieved of the burden of our sins! 

Remember to turn your clocks AHEAD one hour next Saturday evening before you go to bed or you will be late for Sunday morning Mass. 

Thank you to all of the 9th – 12th grade students from Sacred Heart & St. Elizabeth’s who helped plan, prepare, and serve the meal and call bingo for the “Lend a Hand Ministry” event & all who assisted them. Thank you for your continuing support to help our parishioners in need. A net profit of $925.96 was made from the meal and bingo!

Heavenly Wisdom by Venerable Fulton Sheen: “God walks into your soul with silent steps. God comes to you more than you go to Him. Never will his coming be what you expect, and yet never will it disappoint. The more you respond to his gentle pressure, the greater will be your freedom.”

Holy Father’s Prayer Intention for March: For the New Martyrs: We pray that those who risk their lives for the Gospel in various parts of the world inflame the Church with their courage and missionary enthusiasm.

Stewardship Moment: “’Here I am!’ he answered.” - Genesis 22:11 It is easy to say,
“Here I am, Lord,” when we are kneeling in church. But how easy is it to say “Here I am, Lord,” when a neighbor needs our help, or when we are invited to join a parish ministry, or when we are asked to provide financial support? Often times we are called when it’s not convenient for us. Discipleship is not easy, most of the time it will make us uncomfortable and vulnerable.


There will be a St Anne’s Altar Society meeting on Sunday, March 3rd at 9:45am. Agenda includes: May Crowning/potluck, spring cleaning, and any other business. Hope to see members there! 

This weekend is Commitment Weekend for the 2024 God’s Gift Appeal. Our parish goal is $6,984.00. Please complete your pledge card, indicating your gift or pledge to our diocesan church. If you do not have a card, please fill out a commitment card located in the back of the church. It is important for all of us to participate in order to support our diocesan church. If you missed the video last weekend, it can be found on the Diocesan website at: https://www.fargodiocese.org/godsgiftappeal 

Lend a Hand Ministry & Bingo: Today, Sunday, February 25th from 5-7 pm in the Sacred Heart Parish Hall. Serving soup, sandwiches, salad and gelato from 5-6 pm. Bingo from 6-7 pm. See you there to show your support for our students as they work to help others in need within our parishes! 

Safe Haven Sunday will be observed in the Diocese of Fargo this weekend (Feb. 24th-25th). See the bulletin insert for resources to combat pornography for men, women & youth.

Heavenly Wisdom by Venerable Fulton Sheen: “Imagine a large circle and in the center of it rays of light that spread out to the circumference. The light in the center is God; each of us is a ray. The closer the rays are to the center, the closer the rays are to one another. The closer we live to God, the closer we are bound to our neighbor; the farther we are from God, the farther we are from one another. The more each ray departs from its center, the weaker it becomes; & the closer it gets to the center, the stronger it becomes.”

Holy Father’s Prayer Intention for February: Let us pray that the sick who are in the final stages of life, and their families, receive the necessary medical and human care and support.
