Want to watch Mass and don't have EWTN TV at home? You can watch Mass online daily. Miss yesterday's Mass? That's OK, it's here as well under the "latest video" section toward the bottom of the page.

Archbishop Jackels will livestream Sunday morning Mass at 9 am each Sunday while the social distance request is being made. You can also join his rosary service on Thursdays at 2 pm. Both are streamed on the following website: https://dbqarch.org/live-broadcasts?fbclid=IwAR2YTo4-qgHIu34D56xKR8cnpul6uare9jV0ihaFGOBOZTUIWGrBRyaYb3c

Father John will continue to have a weekend homily recorded, even now that we don't have Mass, so please listen to his homily on our Emmaus Pastorate website: https://vibrantcatholic.com/ each weekend. There will also be a bulletin this weekend, which you can also find on the website. To find the homily, it is under the "About" tab, see below. To find the bulletin, it is at the very top of the page in the green task bar.

While the church offices are closed to the public, and we are not celebrating Mass at this time, your budget envelopes can be mailed to

Thank you in advanced for your continued support.

Parish Council

When church resumes, we will start the ministry schedule with whoever was scheduled at the date above. We will get whoever was missed scheduled in as best as we can in July, Aug, Sept.

Fish Fry: We had a total profit of $4679! That profit will go toward the parish center loan, which will leave a loan balance of $93,350

THANK YOU to everyone for your support at our first fish fry! Thank you for those that came and ate, to those that worked that night, worked preparing before, helped with clean up, helped prepare/serve food, to those that donated food items and thank you to all of our youth that came to carry trays and help wherever you could! We had a great turn out, and we hope to do it again next year! Thanks again for the support!

Please consider running for the St. Patrick's Faith Formation Committee, or Parish Life. It is a GREAT way to BE CHURCH! If you are interested in running, please contact Sandy or Deanne for more information.

Faith Formation

If you want to watch some good videos with your children, one place to look is EWTN online. Click "kids" at the top of the page. There are some videos that you could watch together at home. EWTN link:

Want some lessons and even a Lenten Quiz? Check out:

https://teachingcatholickids.com/ for a good resource.

There are a lot of crafts and activities on Pinterest and elsewhere online. I'm sure you can find more than I did. If you want your child's binder or religious education book, I would be more than happy to get it for you. If I can assist in anyway, please let me know.

Hope to see you soon, Deanne

Thank you to Father Mescher for celebrating Mass with us on St. Patrick's Day. We are glad you could join us as we celebrated with breakfast after Mass that morning as well.

Stewardship

We were very happy to donate many food items to the food bank in Strawberry Point after our Lenten food drive. They were in desperate need of items, so we were glad to be able to help. THANK YOU for being so generous!

SCRIP

We continue to have Scrip for sale. Thank you for your continued support for our Scrip fundraising efforts.

We hope that you continue to support our Scrip program during these days/weeks away from church. Just reply to this message or text me with what you'd like to order.

Parish Life

THANK YOU to Parish Life for providing breakfast after our Mass on March 15th! Also, a BIG THANK YOU to Jerry and Janet Nadermann for your service to our Parish Life committee. If anyone would like to run for Parish Life or the Faith Formation committee, please let Sandy or Deanne know. There is a short bio to fill out, and we could get you on the next ballot. This is a great way to BE CHURCH!

Here is a picture of the beautiful quilt for our Mother's Day Quilt Raffle. Thank you to the Ralph and Sandy Winter family! It is beautiful!
