40 Days for Life Fall Campaign ~September 23rd —November 1st is a simple program of Prayer ~ Fasting ~ Peaceful Vigil to end abortion in the world. This 40-day campaign tracks Biblical history, where God used 40-day periods to transform individuals, communities … and the entire world. From Noah in the flood to Moses on the mountain to the disciples after Christ’s resurrection, it is clear that God sees the transformative value of His people accepting and meeting a 40-day challenge. Our parishes will be supporting our local 40 Days for Life campaign in St Cloud on E St Germain and Wilson Ave. We need volunteers to pray in front of Planned Parenthood on Thurs afternoons from 1-7pm. We’d like a minimum of 2 people at the vigil for each hour, so call a friend and partner up! Jesus said that where two or three are gath-ered in His Name, He is in our midst & there is no greater company than Jesus! Questions? Call or text Marilou Sommers (320) 247-9839.

Dear Friends,
This Tuesday we celebrate the Feast of the Archangels and on October 2nd we celebrate the Memorial of the Guardian Angels. In our culture, angels are often depicted as sentimental figures found on Hallmark cards, charm necklaces or bumper stickers. However, the Holy Angels are a very real part of our faith and they are one of the greatest allies to our growth in holiness.
The Catechism states that “From its beginning until death, human life is surrounded by (the angels) watchful care and intercession. Beside each believer stands an angel as protector and shepherd leading him to life” (CCC 336). Did you know that God has assigned a personal Guardian Angel to each one of us? This means your Guardian Angel is assigned to you and only you. God had you and your salvation in mind when He created your Guardian Ange. Your Guardian Angel was specifically chosen for you to be a guide, teacher, protector and intercessor during your time here on earth.
Here are some ways you can foster a relationship with your Guardian Angel:
Call upon your Guardian Angel in times of important decisions. Ask him for his light and guidance in both great and small things.
Call upon your Guardian Angel in times of temptation. Your Angel is always there for you, but he waits for you to invoke his help.
Call upon the Guardian Angel of others. You can pray to your children’s Guardian Angels while they are at school or you can pray to the Guardian Angel of a co-worker when you have a hard conversation ahead of you.
Send your Guardian Angel to assist a loved one. Are you worried about somebody you love? Send your Guardian Angel to comfort them, instruct them, or guide them. Remember, angels are God’s messengers and you can always pray to them to send a loved one a heavenly message or inspiration.
Visionary Meeting for Holdingford, St. Anna and St. Wendel will be on Tuesday, October 27th at 7:00 p.m. at All Saints-St. Mary’s. This is for all those in ACC, Finance Council and Parish Council. If you are on one of these councils and did not receive an email please Contact the Central Office.

Precious Feet Pins In January of 1974, Virginia Evers saw a full page ad showing a photo of a man’s fingers holding the tiny, perfectly formed feet of a baby aborted at 10 weeks. She decided to create the Precious Feet pin which became the international symbol of the pro-life movement. Before she died this July at 99, Virginia said: “The Precious Feet are due for a resurgence”. www.HH76.org

Good Harvest
Thank you from Teresa LeBlanc The past 5 years as Confirmation Di-rector have been AMAZING! Not only have I been able to share and teach the gift of our Catholic faith to some pretty awesome teens, but I also have been able to learn right along with them. God has also taught me more about myself, the kind of person He is calling me to be and that I am never done growing and learning. I’ve be-come aware that our teens are hungry for the faith, they don’t just want to know the ‘whats’ of our faith, they want to know the ‘whys’. Holding this position has been such a wonderful opportunity to expand my knowledge and my relationships. Getting to know
each student was truly a gift for me and I will treasure the time spent with all of them! I pray that someone will come forth now to teach and experience some of these same gifts that I have experienced. I want to graciously thank Mary Solarz for her amazing gifts she brought to our class as well. We made a great team and I couldn’t have done it without her. Mary you are precious to me. And thank you to all our small group leaders, over these years for their support and guidance through some deep conversations. With much joy I watched our teens share great emotion, honesty, doubt and a fair share of laughter during our time together. What a BLESSING! So, students… thank you for this beautiful opportunity to serve and be in relationship with you as you have grown in your Catholic faith! I will continue to hold you in my heart and in my prayers! STAY FAITHFUL, Teresa LeBlanc
Confirmation for St. Columbkille will be on October 8th at 7:00 p.m. at St. Stephen’s in St. Stephen.
