There is an old story about a little frog
that was born at the bottom of a small
well. He and his family lived there
happily and they were content with that little world
where they could play in the water swimming all
around. He thought life is not going to get any
better than this. But one day he looked up and no-
ticed the light at the top of the well. He became
curious wondering what was up there. He slowly
climbed up the side of the well. When he got to
the top, he cautiously peered out over the edge.
The first thing he saw was a pond. It was much
bigger than the well. He ventured farther and saw
a huge lake, a thousand times bigger than the well.
From there he walked a long way and came to the
ocean, where everywhere he looked all he could
see was water. He was shocked and began to real-
ize how limited his thinking had been. Once he
thought he had everything in the well. But now he
realized what he had was very little when com-
pared to what God wanted him to enjoy.
God’s plans for us are so much bigger and greater
than we can imagine. So many times we are like
that little frog. We have been enclosed in our own
little well. It is all we have ever known—a certain
level of living and a certain way of thinking. All
the while, God has so much in store for us. God
has oceans he wants you to enjoy. But we settle
for too little.

• Do you enjoy kids and/or teens?
• Do you have a desire to deepen your own faith?
Helping with the parish religious education program could
be a perfect fit for you! As a catechist you use the provided
materials to teach a group of children or teens. We have
options for lead catechists and co-catechists available. You
are provided with training and on-going support. One of the
best ways to grow in our own knowledge and love of our
Catholic Faith is to teach it to others. It is a very fulfilling
experience to see that a young person is making a connec-
tion or being drawn in by the Truth. There are many oppor-
tunities to say in answer to a child’s question, “I don’t
know, but I will find out for you.” And when the answer is
found and shared with the child, there is the satisfaction of
expanding our own understanding as well.
We also have openings for classroom aides at all grade lev-
els. As an aide you assist the catechist with projects and
assignments and help the kids stay on task.
People willing to serve as substitute catechists on a per need
basis are always needed as well.
Finally, we have opportunities for occasional service such
as opening night hospitality, children’s celebrations, and
other once or twice a year events.
Please prayerfully consider if you could support our parish
religious education program by volunteering in some capac-
ity. We welcome parents, grandparents, single adults, and
mature teens! Please contact Kathy Ruhland kathyruh-
[email protected] or 507-364-7981.

MOST HOLY REDEEMER CHURCH GIFT OF TIME & TALENT :
This week we would like to recognize and thank
Chris Goettl
For sewing altar cloths, baptismal towels, the monstrance cover, and other misc. ministry cloth
repairs and creations. Thank you for sharing your gifts with the church.
Week 5 in a series about Eucharistic Adoration:
Does It Really Do Any Good?
Yes, it really does! This one hour can change your mood, your out-look, or even change your life – always for the better because of the
Real Presence of Christ. Pope John Paul II, called by many “The Pope of the Real Presence,” strongly encouraged all of the faithful to participate in Eu-charistic Adoration as a welcome refuge from a world that demands our eve-ry moment and all of our attention – and often robs us of our time and energy to connect with God through prayer and proper reflection. Regular participa-tion in Eucharistic Adoration does provide that opportunity to slow down,
breathe deep, and focus for a moment on our “inner life.”
