First Friday Communion Calls will be this week on Wednesday and Friday. A MESSAGE FROM FATHER SAUER No Priest or Deacon birthdays this week. Please pray for an increase of vocations to the priesthood, diaconate and religious life for the Diocese of Winona. Congratulations to Tim Pozanc and Gretchen Gatzke who were married on April 22 and to Kevin and Jennifer Mulyck who had their marriage validated by the Church on April 29. May the Lord bless their life together. This Sunday is the last in our Sunday evening Masses. I will be presiding and offering a special blessing for the graduating seniors. This is also a great opportunity for me to wish our college age friends blessings for the summer. It is wonderful to have so many young adults join our community for worship on the weekends. It adds a great flavor to Mass. Visitors often comment on how young our parish is! And, indeed, we are - both young in age and young in spirit. Best wishes to those who are graduating or will not be returning and we look forward to seeing the others on their return in the fall. Next Sunday our young people will be receiving First Holy Communion. Due to the limits of space in Holy Family Hall we are scheduling a special Mass at 8:30 so that we do not have to limit the number of family members who can attend. Please pray for these young people so that the Lord will always be an important part of their life and so that the blessings of the sacrament will bring them peace and joy. This past week, our interview committee met with three candidates for our Pastoral Associate of Faith Formation and Community life position. We have had strong candidates and are in the process of doing reference and background checks as we make our final decision. I hope to have more news for you next week. Planning Update: Recently Cotter announced to it s families and staff that the junior high program will move to the St. Teresa campus next fall. We congratulate Cotter on this transition. Please know that no changes will occur in WACS facilities for the school year. We continue to work through the Planning Assessment Committee to develop a sound, long-range facilities plan for WACS. The complete plan, entitled A Future of Faith and Learning: Planning for Catholic Education in Winona was published in February and is available on the WACS website ST.
