As you know, the “picture” has changed once more.  Our office is no longer open to serve the public, but I am available for pastoral needs and the parish staff will be working here or from home to keep you informed and provide spiritual resources.  Here’s the latest:
 
On Wednesday, March 18th, Bishop Quinn suspended all public Sunday and weekday Masses for the next eight weeks, beginning on Friday, March 20th, through Friday, May 15th; this includes Holy Week and Easter. Click link for letter and decree; https://www.dowr.org/alerts.html .
 
The SJW Church building remains open for individual prayer during regular business hours, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Saturday from 3:00-5:00 pm with Confessions at 4:00 pm, and Sunday from 8:00-11:00 am.  We are sanitizing the pews and high touch areas daily.
 
The HF Church building will be open on Sunday, 8:00 to 9:00 am with confessions at 8:00 am, and Thursday, 8:00-9:00 am.  Confessions will be heard in the Cry Room to maintain social distancing.
 
Individual Reconciliation (Confession) can be scheduled by appointment in addition to the times listed above. 
 
First Communion and Confirmation are postponed until further notice.
 
If you need pastoral care or assistance with some practical need, please call us at (507) 388-3766.
 
I am grateful for your prayers and kind words; please continue your financial support of the parish if you are able to do so, either online or by sending your contribution to the office. 
 
Know that our staff and prayer ministers are praying for you.  Praying and working together, we can do great things with God’s grace.
 
Sincerely in Christ,
Father Tim Reker
