Join us for Rural Life Day
The Diocese of La Crosse will hold its 40th annual Rural Life Day on Wednesday, September 22, hosted by Carla Kostka and her son, Barry, at their Castle Rock Organic Farms, S12360 Young Road in Osseo. Come celebrate the farmers in our midst, who benefit us all by their good stewardship of the land. The day begins with 10 a.m. Mass celebrated by Bishop William Patrick Callahan, followed by awards, recognitions, the blessing of crops and machinery, and a meal catered by members of St. Raymond of Peñafort Parish.
Catechist Blessing
With your fatherly blessing, Lord, strengthen these servants of yours in their resolve to dedicate themselves as catechists. Grant that they will strive to share with others what they themselves derive from pondering your Word and studying the Church’s teaching. And let them gladly join those they teach in honoring and serving your name. We ask this through Christ our Lord.. Amen

Haiti Earthquake Collection
On August 14th a 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck the island of Haiti and along with tropical depression, Grace, the people of Haiti are desperate for help. On the weekend of August 28 & 29, St. Mary’s had a special collection to assist in raising funds to help. Because of you, we are able to send the Diocese of LaCrosse $1,418.00. If you were not able to contribute that weekend, you can go to the Diocesan website and click on Social Concerns or go to Catholic Relief Services Website (CRS) and click on the DONATE button.
Thank you!
Margaret & Maurice Gurgel for the beautiful autumn mums that adorn our altar.
