Our Mission: To focus on the Eucharist as the source of our foundation and
have the commitment to Strengthen our Faith Journey through the sacraments,
continued prayer, education and service with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Baptism: Baptismal instructions are the second Tuesday of each month.
Instructions are required before Baptism. Contact the parish office. Baptisms are
the first weekend of each month.
Care Ministry: Please notify us at the parish office of your desire for prayers,
home visits, Holy Communion, Anointing of the Sick or simply a visit from a fellow
parishioner. We are here to help you through your time of need.
Catholic Education - Pre 3 through 12: Catholic education is a special
gift you can provide to your child to ensure their faith development. For more
information on a Catholic education through the St. Mary Catholic Schools,
call Jill Ahles (725-5351) or Jennifer Miller (722-7796 Ext:206).
Faith Formation - 1st grade through adults: Let us help you with the
faith formation of your family. Sign up your child for Faith Formation Classes.
Registration forms are available at the parish office and on the parish website.
We are never done developing our relationship with God. Adult
Classes are available. Watch the bulletin for opportunities to grow.
Marriage: Congratulations on your engagement! Contact Father Paul Paider
6 to 12 months before your wedding to set a tentative date on the church calendar.
You will then be contacted about marriage preparations.
RCIA - Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults or children: The #1 reason people
do not become Catholic is because no one has ever invited them! Consider this
your invitation. And invite others to join us as well. RCIA is a program for adults
who are not currently Catholic, coming into the Catholic Church or for Catholics
that have not been confirmed. RCIA for children is for children who have not
received some of their sacraments. If you are interested in becoming Catholic or
have a child who needs a sacrament, please contact the parish office.

and serve the meal (a 2 hour commitment) and/or
you can help prepare food for the meal (something
you would do at home). The link to sign up
(http://www.signupgenius.com/

website or you can call Barb Unruh at 486-6565.

July 30, August 12, September 8, October 4,
November 6 and December 9.
The Bible and the Sacraments Examining the rich relationship
between the Old and New Testaments,
reveals the sacraments as more than mere earthly
rituals. They are incredible “powers that come
forth from the Body of Christ” (CCC 1116).
This DVD study begins Thursday, April 5 St.
Gabriel’s 9 am & 6:30 pm Contact Julie Schmitz
for more information, 722-4961.
