Pastor's Notes for June 17

Dear Parishioners,
Happy Father's Day to all fathers of our parishes. Thank you, men, for your fatherly care.
This promises to be a great week! First, this Friday evening, Bishop LeVoir and a number of guests will join us in chartering our very own Knights of Columbus council (which we have named in honor of Bishop Schladweiler, first bishop of New Ulm). All are welcome to join us at 6:30 pm at St. Anne's Church for Mass and the installation of first officers, followed by a reception meal.
Wednesday of this week, we will host a movie night in the basement of St. Anne's (so we can have snacks, etc, in addition to the handicap accessibility), with the movie Soul Surfer being selected. It is a beautiful story of a teenage woman surfer who lost an arm in a shark attack, her struggle to understand God's will, and the ultimate meaning of her life. It is family-friendly - we will provide popcorn, but bring a cushion and your own refreshments.
Finally - a heads up! My mom and most of my aunts and uncles and a fair number of cousins are gathering here at St. Anne's next Sunday noon. It is the first time in a long time that we are all together like this, so we are all excited. Many will be at Mass on Sunday, so if you see strangers, it is just my family!
In Christ,
Fr. Todd
