Here is the plan for the entire Lenten Series on Prayer from our Pastor, Fr. Rolf Tollefson. Videos will viewed in small group meetings and will also be available for anyone else who wants to learn about prayer — whether they're brand new to an intentional prayer life, or seasoned vets.

In the first three days of online sign-up over 170 of you signed up for 27 different small groups, filling many of them. We'd particularly like more men and more School parents sign up. Registration will close January 31.

Archbishop Hebda hopes every parishioner in every parish will eventually be in some kind of small group within the parish. Why not begin with us this Lent?

To support this initiative, we would like to identify those with the experience or the gifts needed to lead small groups starting in Lent and invite them to a training series to be held this fall.

Adoration will be suspended today through Friday, and the parish office will be closed Thursday and Friday due to inclement weather.
