Lord Jesus Christ, our Divine Physician, we ask you to guard and protect us from Coronavirus COVID-19 and all serious illness. For all that have died from it, have mercy; for those that are ill now, bring healing. For those searching for a remedy, enlighten them; for medical caregivers helping the sick, strengthen and shield them. For those working to contain the spread, grant them success; for those afraid, grant peace. May your precious blood be out defense and salvation. By your grace, may you turn the evil of disease into moments of consolation and hope. May we always fear the contagion of sin more than any illness. We abandon ourselves to your infinite mercy. Amen Pedro de la Cruz |

Bishop Robert Barron commentsBishop Robert Barron shares some reflections on a political conversation concerning where our rights come from.
April has been designated in our country as child abuse awareness month. The sexual and physical abuse of children is a problem that runs through the whole of our society, but as we all know, it has been a particular curse within our own Catholic community. Bishop Baron wrote a short book on this entire sad subject called Letter to a Suffering Church. This text is available online, free of charge at, sufferingchurchbook.com. Everyone in our diocese is encouraged to download and read it. Please continue to pray for all the victim/survivors of sexual abuse throughout our society. Election Year Statement"Catholics are called to be faithful citizens and to infuse public life with the values necessary to protect human dignity, combat injustice, and promote the common good. Because of this duty, it is necessary that we, your pastors, reflect with you on the state of our public life and the choices Minnesotans face as we go to the polls in a year in which all state legislative and executive officers are up for election."

SYNOD 2021 -2023WHO? The entire people of God are invited to the synod!
WHAT? The Synod is a way for us to all journey together in order to discern and to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Its goal is to promote communion, participation, and mission. HOW? The primary way of participating in the Synod is in a spirit of listening – first to the Holy Spirit, then to each other. We have selected three key questions to focus on. 1. Do I feel like I belong in this community? Why or why not? 2. What hinders me as a baptized Christian from being an active, missionary disciple? 3. What area of Christ’s mission are we neglecting? We invite you to print the Synod question sheet, respond to the questions and return the form to St. Joachim by February 15, 2022. Question sheets can be mailed, dropped at the Parish Center, or placed in the collection basket at Church. Pope Francis wants to hear from YOU! We are all on a journey, a journey of faith. "God meets us where we are, on the often rocky roads of life." ~ Pope Francis For more information download the documents below.
