“Calling all singers, or warblers, or Yodelers”...anyone with a voice to praise! Choir has begun and people can still join choir practice on Thursdays at 7:00 PM. We have a great group that loves new members….yes, we sing, but have also created a strong support group. You do not have to commit to every week or every Sunday….we’ll take you whenever we can. Make Thursday night YOUR night & join our family! Call or text Lisa with any questions, 651-448-0015.
Homebound Ministry: There are several parishioners of St. Mary’s who are in the Care Center, the Bluffs and homebound who would be happy to receive visitors. As part of the Body of Christ, we are called to be Christ to one another. There is a need to invigorate the Homebound Ministry so that these special friends and family members know that they are remembered and loved. Please consider being a part of this important ministry by volunteering a few hours each month or by becoming a prayer partner.
Training for those interested in bringing Holy Communion to the homebound is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday November 2-3 and November 9 after Mass. Training will last about 30 minutes and will be held in the Fireside Room. For more information regarding this rewarding opportunity, please contact Maria Schultz at 651-345-4134.
