In case you haven’t heard, the best pastor EVER is moving on to a new assignment. If you know him at all, the last thing he wants to do in the middle of summer is sit inside a church hall for a farewell party (or three in our case!). We did convince him that the ENTIRE COMMUNITY, not just our three parishes, needs an opportunity to come thank him and wish him well.

He has agreed to a 2-hour open house at his home away from home, Stacy’s Nursery, on Wednesday, June 12, from 4:30-6:30 pm. Please stop by if you are able.

Note: parking is limited so carpooling is encouraged!

Edited to add that a special word of thanks goes to PrintMasters of Willmar for creating this poster. Fr. Steve doesn’t know about it yet!
