Joyful Living Our church calls faithful Catholics to stand firmly against the culture of death, against the spiraling rates of abortion, suicide, and euthanasia. We know we have a solemn obligation to live always with and for Christ so we have meaning and a clear purpose. At a recent nursing conference, Jessie Johnson encountered common sense attributes joyful people have, including: a positive outlook, adaptable temperament, strong problem solving skills, self esteem, frequent activity and exercise, resilience, positive body image and self care, retreats, family support and connectedness, close-ness with parents, community service, creativity, and hobbies. Be concerned about others instead of only yourself. Ask the person how they are, listen to their story and remember it next time. ~ Barbara Skordie-Mack, MS, LMFT. LPCC. RPT-S Integrated Behavioral Health In planning your future and/or surviving an adverse event ask yourself “what will I see in my rear-view mirror 5 years from now. There is always a future and everything will be fine. ~ Steve Hansberry, Wellness in the Woods

Vibrant Faith Formation Programs = Vibrant, Growing Parishes Yet another school year is before us, which of course means faith formation programs across Minnesota will be busy on Wednesday evenings. As everyone knows, the forming of Catholic imaginations and morality begins with the family in our homes; Pope Francis reminds us of this wonderfully with his August prayer intention in which he says: families, through their life of prayer and love, become ever more clearly the schools of true human development. Knowing this, that the faces of our children are mirrors showing us the future, we all have a stake in lively programs that supplement and amplify the endless efforts going on at every home and farm. Our faith formation directors and teachers stand ready to enroll and serve your children, and address your questions and concerns at Parent Night, which is Wednesday, September 4th in each parish at 6:30; the first classes begin that evening also at 7:00. See the next bulletin for the schedule for fall, and please pray regularly for our families, teachers and aides, and especially each an every one of our faith formation students that they grow to be devout.
*May God bless and keep always Kimberly Roth-Koning for her years of loving, faithful service as the faith formation
director of Immaculate Conception in St. Anna. The ripples of her efforts pleased heaven, and are eternal.
Those Who Can...TEACH! What is the best way to learn? Teach! Faith Formation is looking for men and women (confirmation students too!)who want to go deeper in their faith. You don’t have to be an expert in Catechism. All you need is a heart that is seek-ing God (Jer. 29:13). Your Director is there to help you find answers to any questions. St. Stanislaus is looking for 4th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th grade teachers. Call Cindy Fussy 320-360-6798. We are ALL called to evangelize. All Saints is looking for 10th grade teachers. Call Katrina Kolles 320-292-1575.Have you answered the call?
