WEEKLY SCHEDULE
Mildred Schall Marjorie Bitz Dennis Barnhardt Richelle Knudson Viola Bitz Rodger Buchholz
My parish is composed of people like me.
I help make it what it is.
It will be friendly, if I am.
Its pews will be filled, if I help fill them.
It will do great work, if I work.
It will be prayerful, if I pray.
It will make generous gifts to many causes, if I am a generous giver.
It will bring others into worship, if I invite and bring them.
It will be a parish of loyalty and love, of fearless and faith, or compassion, charity, and mercy,
if I, who make it what it is, am filled with these same things.
Therefore, with the help of God, I now dedicate myself to the task of being all things that I want
my parish to be.
Amen
