Fr. Gerald has suggested it would be nice to have a Parish Picnic, using our pavilion and social hall for activities. He has asked the Knight’s of Columbus of our parish to coordinate this effort. The Date is Sunday, September 25th 12:00pm-4:00pm We need input from all ministries that are willing and able to take part and participate in this endeavor. Talk about your idea’s in your upcoming meetings, examples, food menu, food purchase, cooking, games, etc. Select a member to be a contact person from your ministry, and contact me to discuss. We’ll set a meeting time to share our idea’s. Together we will come up with a plan to make this an awesome Picnic! Sue in the parish office will have my contact information. Thank you, God Bless us all! Rick Karsnick, Grand Knight, K of C
ATTENTION PARISHIONERS!!! If you would like to carry up the gifts at the offertory at any of the Masses, or the intention of the Mass is by you, please feel free to let one of the ushers know that you or your family want to carry up the gifts when you arrive at Mass
SOMETHING NEW!!! As you know we offer Mass Intentions for the living and deceased for $10 per Mass Intention. Per the Diocese of Gaylord we are only allowed one intention per Mass. There is always one Mass on the weekend that is offered for intentions of the parish. At this time we have no Mass intentions available until August 21, 2022. Beginning Sunday, February 20th, we will offer our red Sanctuary Candle, located by the tabernacle, as an intention for someone living or deceased from Sunday—Monday each week. The cost will be $10. This gives those who could not get their intentions into a Mass an opportunity to offer an intention in a different way.
Our Perpetual Adoration Chapel is URGENTLY in need of new Adorers. While all five parishes support and provide the adorers, we still have many hours throughout the day and night which are without a regular adorer. Please pray about being called to this sacrificial but immensely rewarding ministry. Hours with no regular Adorer: Monday 11:00am, Thursday 2:00am, Saturday 4:00pm, Saturday 8:00pm, Sunday 2:00am, Sunday 7:00am. And numerous hours with only 1 adorer. Pope Saint John Paul II said, "The Church and the world have a great need for Eucharistic worship. Jesus awaits us in the sacrament of love. Let us not refuse the time to go to meet him in adoration, in contemplation full of faith, and open to making amends for the serious offenses and crimes of the world. Let our adora-tion never cease." Call Colleen Lewis @ 231-883-6081 or visit our website @ www.stfrancisadoration.org if you feel drawn to this personal quiet time with Jesus. Our Lord is waiting 24/7.

What Does It Mean To Be A Registered Parish Member vs. Unregistered From time to time we experience individuals who indicate that they are parish members but when it comes time to looking up needed information on them, we have nothing in our records. (NOTE: This scenario is true for all parishes.) Often people attend Mass at a parish for months or sometimes years, but never officially register. Being a registered parishioner also makes the process much simpler when it is time for receiving sacraments, registering for faith formation (religious education), sponsoring a sacrament recipient and even planning funerals. When a person is registered in a parish, all of their sacraments (Baptism, First Eucharist, Confirmation, Marriage and Death) are recorded in the sacramental archive books. So why is it so important to be an actual registered member of a parish? Living in a culture that no longer supports a religious way of life, much less a Catholic Christian way of life, the local parish plays an integral role in helping to guide and support us on our journey. The parish does this through it's educational and formational programs, prayer groups, spiritual development and celebrations of the Word and Sacraments. In the Roman Catholic Church of the United States of America, members to be considered "active" parishioners must be registered in the Parish for a sufficient period of time, fulfilled the Sabbath Commandment by attending Mass faithfully on Sundays and Holy Days, and continuously support the Mission of Christ in the local Parish by preferably using the envelope system. In order to receive the Sacraments of Baptism, First Reconciliation, First Holy Communion, Confirmation, or Holy Matrimony you need be a registered member. To help insure this dynamic in the parish, the Church requires registration. Parish registration creates a two -fold obligation: On one hand, the pastor is obligated to serve the spiritual needs of that individual. On the other hand, the individual is obligated to support the mission and needs of the parish. If you are unsure that you are a registered member of St. Patrick’s, please contact Sue Korson at the parish office. If you aren’t, it only takes a few minutes to do so. –Sherrie Clutts DRE
Something New For Your App If you have the myParish app on your cell phone, you may notice a temporary background change for the Lent and Easter seasons. It is a beautiful background of the Holy Cross and again it is just temporary. Another feature that will be found on your app is called Lenten Reflections. It will be found under the icon called Inspire Daily. Remember there are so many features on your app and they are easy to use. No matter what kind of smart phone you own, it is easy to download if you do not already have the app. If you have any questions, please contact either Sue Korson or Sherrie Clutts at the parish office.
