On Wednesday, June 24, Mass will be celebrated at 6:00 p.m. at St. John the Baptist Church in Bluffton, honoring the birth of the great prophet who prepared the way for Christ. Following Mass, all are invited to stay for Father Rick's Farewell Gathering at 7:00 p.m. as we thank him for his faithful service, spiritual leadership, and many blessings shared with our parish family. Those who wish to extend their thanks and best wishes to Father Rick are invited to place a card in the basket provided.

A meal featuring hamburgers, hot dogs, salads, bars, and more will be served. We invite you to join us for this special evening of prayer, fellowship, gratitude, and celebration.

Please note: The regularly scheduled daily Mass at St. Ann Church in Wadena is canceled on June 24 so that our parish family may gather together in Bluffton for this special celebration.

Please help us spread the word, and keep Father Rick in your prayers as he begins this next chapter of priestly ministry. 🙏

We encourage you to take a few moments to watch this inspiring series and discover how our Catholic faith can help guide us in living as faithful citizens and disciples of Christ.
