Today is the Feast of St. Boniface!

He took an axe to a sacred oak the pagans said no god would let stand. It fell. No one died. The crowd went silent... and listened. He baptized a nation. At seventy-five he was killed by raiders while preparing converts for confirmation, a Gospel book raised over his head.

A scribe asked Jesus to rank the whole Law. He gave two commandments in response: love God with everything you are, and love your neighbor as yourself. Everything else in Scripture hangs on these.

June 1 -

Below is the interim Mass schedule for the Clear Lake Area Pastorate. This Mass schedule will be implemented starting

July 15, 2026 - January 15, 2027.

This interim schedule will be evaluated throughout the next six months for any needed adjustments. Please be patient and grace-filled as we give the proposed schedule time to work. Recognizing that this schedule is a change for many, Archbishop Zinkula asks all to approach this transition with understanding, flexibility, and a shared spirit of unity. As we continue our journey forward together, may we remain focused on our common mission and on the joy of celebrating the Eucharist together.

St. Patrick, Lake Mills shared some pictures from their final night of Faith Formation Class. They decorated the entrance to the church with unique chalk art, and shared the story of Easter!

This skit displayed the Biblical story of Easter, beyond all of the candy and colored eggs.

St. Joseph the Worker & the start of the Month of Mary!⁣
Did you know Pope Pius XII created this feast specifically as a Catholic response to secular May Day? Work is holy. Labor is sacred. Joseph worked with his hands and raised the Son of God.

With joyful hearts, we celebrate the 18 students from across our Archangels Catholic Cluster who received the Sacrament of First Holy Communion during the month of April.

With at least one student representing each of our parishes, this beautiful milestone reflects the unity and faith of our communities. As these young disciples receive Jesus in the Eucharist for the first time, we are reminded of the grace, hope, and promise that continues to grow within our Church.

Please join us in congratulating these students and keeping them in your prayers, that they may continue to grow in faith, love, and devotion to Christ throughout their lives.

We invite you to view and celebrate these special moments by browsing the photos shared in this post.

Congratulations to all of our First Communicants!
