𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 & 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 As we look ahead to the impending snowstorm expected this weekend, we want to share important updates to the Mass schedule and offer guidance to help everyone plan safely. Although we could make last-minute decisions and share updates quickly through parish websites and social media, we recognize that not all parishioners have access to online communication. We are sharing this information in advance to allow for safe planning and thoughtful discernment. 𝗢𝗻...

Around this time last year, I walked down the hall of St John Neumann Elementary School. As is usual, students had artwork hanging on the wall. And, as is always quite usual in a school setting, the focus was timely. January includes Martin Luther King Day; February is set aside as African American History Month. So, I saw a good number of pictures of people like Frederick Douglass— who wrote a firsthand account of how brutal slavery in America had been—and Dr Martin Luther King—whose nonviolent spirit promoted racial justice in the 1960s. I thought at ...

I know for the past few months—and, actually, for the past couple of years—we’ve been asking “How will things be different when St. Ann and St. Boniface Parishes link? What will change? What will be ‘business as usual’?” Today’s feast, the Baptism of the Lord, gives us a chance to look at a change: The way in which we prepare and celebrate the baptism of our children. There are two aspects to this question—one’s practical, the other’s theological. Both matter! The practical: Both parishes bring a histor...

Dear Parish Family and Friends, It is with a heart full of gratitude that I share some personal news with you all.

While I am excited for this new chapter and the opportunities it brings, I will deeply miss our daily interactions and the vibrant spirit of this community.

There’s an old tradition that during the Epiphany Mass, the priest or deacon would announce—with solemn chant, mind you—the dates of the movable feasts for the coming year. Ash Wednesday, Easter, Corpus Christi, and even the rather distant First Sunday of Advent would be proclaimed as a glance into the Church’s future. This Epiphany, I have a few announcements for our parishes, announcements that offer us a glance into our local Church’s future. First, Chris Dell, our secretary at St Boniface, has decided to return to school. We wish her ...
