Since pandemic Stay-At-Home orders prevent us from gathering in church, we will use a videotaped mission by Fr Mike Schmitz.  Our Easter Mission begins Sunday, May 3, at 6:30 pm and continues the following two evenings. While you don't have to wait until Sunday evening, watching at the same time as fellow parishioners can give us all a sense of connection. Go to our Online Mission page on your PC, tablet, or smartphone, and select the evening's video.

Fr Mike's nightly themes are

• Sunday, May 3 “Identity”
• Monday, May 4 “Joy”
• Tuesday, May 5 “Holiness”

Fr Mike is a priest of the Diocese of Duluth, campus minister at the University of Minnesota/Duluth, author, and a popular speaker at Catholic conferences and parish missions all over the country. To read about him in his own words, click here.

The Mission was preached at and videotaped by St Anthony of Padua Parish in Woodlands, Texas, a few years ago. Although that parish called the series their Lenten Mission, the message is just as pertinent during the Easter season.
