Message from Bishop Daniel for United Catholic Appeal

From the Pastor's Desk

Fr. Eli Gieske

Dear Parishioners,

Happy Solemnity of Pentecost! In addition to celebrating Pentecost, we are honoring our men and women who have served our nation in the military. Thanks for your service. We also have our last Theology on Tap today (Sunday) at the Hudson.

I want to encourage you to consider going to the Corpus Christi Procession in Brainerd on June 11th . There will be at Mass at 2 PM at St. Francis. You can attend that Mass if you would like. Or you can come at 3 PM for the procession itself. You can park at St. Francis, or if you like you can park at St. Andrews and ride the shuttle which will be provided. The procession goes from St. Francis to St. Andrews. You can park either location and take the shuttle to where you need to go either before or after the procession. I think it will be a great event for our area. I plan to be there, and I hope to see many of our parishioners there too. The Knights of Columbus are helping, altar servers are encouraged to come and be part of the procession (talk to myself or Tammy Ringhand about this if you have questions). I would encourage first communicants to come wearing their First Communion attire. If you are a society or an apostolate, come and have a banner or a way of identifying yourselves.

This is not a parade… it is a procession. A procession is a liturgical action. It is a sign of our piety and love of the Lord. In this case it is a public display that others can see. So, when we process, remember this is a prayer, it is a way which we honor our Lord. On this special day it will be a celebration for the Eucharistic Lord. Why not spend this day doing something like a procession for love of Jesus. Maybe you are thinking… it’s not really my thing… maybe you could be doing something else you would prefer that day. However, think about how much our Lord would like it if you came to celebrate and honor him that day. Ultimately, we do this sort of thing to show our love of Jesus. It’s not really about anything else. If people want to organize rides, that’s a great thing to do. There will be a celebration at St. Andrews after the procession that will involve food, so it should be a great event.

June 11th – 12th we will be hosting Totus Tuus (Totally Yours) a youth camp at our parish. I encourage our children to sign up for this fun week of events. There’s a need for volunteers too, if some of the older students are willing to help with the younger students it is a really great way to help and be leaders.

Due to lack of interest (or availability) we are cancelling the high school camping trip that was to be held the last week of June. Next year, we’ll try to get it on the calendar sooner.

As we celebrate Pentecost let’s continue asking the Holy Spirit to help guide us in our lives. We have many areas as a parish cluster where we need the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and I am sure individually we each have areas where we need this guidance as well.

In Christ,
-Fr. Eli

Editorial: Spike in STDs supports pope’s call for ‘new sexual revolution’ 

According to recent news reports, Duluth and the surrounding area are seeing outbreaks of HIV, syphilis, and other sexually-transmitted diseases in recent years. Public health officials say rates for some of these diseases have risen statewide. St. Louis County is planning an ad campaign, with the help of a state grant, so you may soon be hearing about it on billboards and social media and the sides of city buses. 

While it is undoubtedly very important to inform people of this situation and let them know where they can get screening and treatment for these diseases, that alone only addresses the symptoms. It’s not a cure for the underlying problem.
