5 FROM FR. JOE! Spring has finally arrived! As I look around at our building and grounds and consider all that we have been able to do, I have to say Michael Klatt, our Maintenance director, has done an outstanding job. Hard to believe he has been here for a year now. All the same, Michael can't do it alone. I'm so grateful for Steve Lepak and Steve Motl, our Building and Grounds directors respectively for St. John's and Cathedral parishes. I'm also grateful to the members of the Knights of Columbus who have stepped up to help with special projects. As I look out from my two offices, I see that as the snow recedes, it is time for a Spring clean up. Please consider assisting Michael Klatt. Could some of you reach out to Michael Klatt? I'm sure he would love to have some assistance soon to pick up around the grounds and prepare our flower gardens for planting. Give it some thought. Spring is here! In Christ! ~Fr. Joe Life in the Spirit Seminar Bishop David L Ricken stated, The Life in the Spirit Seminar is an opportunity to grow in awareness and openness to the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
