On the first 2 pages of our bulletin, you’ll find our

Highlight of the Week and information about Worship and

Sacraments at St. Vincent de Paul. The Highlight is a featured

space to give more details about a particular ministry or event.

In the Worship & Sacraments section, we introduce the

readings for the upcoming week and include articles about the

various Sacraments celebrated at St. Vincent de Paul.

The Seven Sacraments are the outward signs instituted by

Christ to give grace to us, and therefore are vital to the life of

our parish. These pages also include a calendar of parish

events for the upcoming week.

Please pray for this couple who will be

married in the coming month:

I love our school cafeteria. It’s one place

where it’s acceptable to drink milk straight

from the carton. This week we will all raise

our cartons together to make a toast in

celebration of Catholic Schools Week.

As part of the week-long celebration, our students will

participate in dress-up days. One day the students will

come to school in “patriotic” clothing. Another day will be

“Sunday best” day. On the first day the students are invited to

come to school in “camouflage” clothes. That’s quite clever.

When the teacher says, “Hey, I didn’t see you in class today,”

the student can respond, “Thank you very much!”

Catholic Schools Week reminds us that we’ve got Spirit,

yes we do. It’s the Holy Spirit of God – creating, loving,

illuminating, serving, healing, giving, and raising us up in

holiness. Thank you to our parents, teachers, catechists, and all

of you for the love and Catholic formation that you pour

into another generation of Jesus’ lights in the world.

In the Parish Staff & Administration section of our bulletin,

you can read about administrative updates for the Parish,

as well as announcements about our staff,

finances, & facilities.

St. Vincent’s will be participating in a

parish-wide survey! Please Read! We will soon be participating in a parish

survey about discipleship conducted by

the Catholic Leadership Institute as part

of the Archdiocesan Synod Process!

We need your help – please

watch next weekend’s bulletin

for a link to participate in a

10-15 minute survey online.

The survey can be accessed via smartphone, tablet or computer

from February 1 – March 1 and will ask you to reflect on your

own spiritual growth and enable you to provide feedback

on our parish’s efforts to help you grow.

All responses will be confidential and the parish will only

receive information about the community as whole.

We are trying to get the highest response rate possible.

This information will be valuable to Archbishop Hebda,

Father Zehren and our parish as we plan for the future and

strive to be the best disciples we can be. We will receive the

results this spring, at which time we will share what we have

learned. If you don’t use a smartphone, tablet or computer -

there will be opportunities to complete the survey after

daily and Sunday Mass. You can also obtain a paper copy

by contacting Jennifer Kuzma at 763-425-2210.

Thank you for helping with this important project!

inviting us to walk more closely with him today. This study will meet for five Mondays starting on March 2

from 12:15—1:45 PM or 7—8:30 PM. $10/person. Sign up after Masses on Feb. 8 and 9 or at the Parish Office
