ADORATION CHAPEL
NEWS
God is always with us, but
there is no way that we can
always be aware of His Presence. We
all need to spend some time each day
just relaxing in awareness that God is
close to us and loving us unconditionally.
Where can we go to be alone with God?
The Adoration Chapel is the PERFECT
place for intimate, heart to heart conversation with Him. Especially during this
Holy Season of Lent.
OPEN HOURS:
WEDNESDAY 8:00am
FRIDAY 2:00am, 11:00am
PRAYER PARTNERS NEEDED:
Monday 3:00pm
Thursday 10:00pm
REMINDER: You are always
welcome to come to the chapel and
adore Jesus in the Tabernacle at
anytime. Please call Ellie to commit to an hour 428-2172.

Thank you to those parishioners
who have already donated to this

be returned for use to support ministries in our parish. If you haven’t donated yet, there are also envelopes at

Your financial support for the work
of our parish and vital ministries
throughout this local Church is one
way to express this gratitude. Thank
you.

Spirit in Our Hearts”
Faith, Hope & Charity and the Gifts of
the Holy Spirit
how they are active in our world and
in our hearts.
Our speaker this month is Dr.

up in Owatonna, Minnesota. She completed her undergraduate degree in
Catholic Studies and Spanish at the
University of St. Thomas. After a year
of MA Theology courses at Boston
College, she went on to complete a
Ph.D. in Theology at Ave Maria University in south Florida. Kristin has
been an editor for Sapientia Press and
the theological journal Nova et Vetera.
She has been an adjunct theology professor at the Saint Paul Seminary
School of Divinity since 2012, and she
has taught courses on prayer and spirituality, Christian virtues, the Eucharist,
and the Catechism. She is in charge of
formation for the Master of Arts in Pastoral Ministry at the seminary. She and
her husband, Michael, currently reside
in St. Anthony Village, with their four
small children, where they attend St.
