The resurrection of Our Lord is a call to us to show with our lives that he lives. The visit to the Blessed Sacrament is an act of piety that only takes a few minutes; nevertheless, what a lot of graces and what fortitude and peace does Our Lord give through it. There we find that our sense of presence of God throughout the day is improved and we gather new strength to take the difficulties of the day in our stride. There our desire to work better is enkindled and we are provided with a good supply of peace and joy to take with us to our family life. Our Lord, who always pays generously, is grateful for the fact that we have gone to visit Him.

Please pray for Mr. REd Janzer, 86=5, who is dying at home, who is a parishioner at St. John Paul II. I visited him and gave him the Final Sacraments. He probably will be born into Eternal Life...

The Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA) funds the yearly needs of our diocese. It supports the work of our parishes and, wherever possible, expands the mission of the Church.
ACA funds are crucial for priest retirement needs, new deacon formation, and education costs for our 14 seminarians. The ACA supports formation and catechesis in Youth and Young Adult Ministry, Campus Ministry, Family Life, Catholic Formation, and Catholic Education. From ministry to prisoners in Montana to the remote Guatemala Mission and School, ACA funds help serve the marginalized and impoverished.
As donors, we actively participate in these ministries and works of mercy that bolster parish life and extend to the fringes of society and the depths of human experience. Click the image to give online today. Our 2025 goal for St. Richard Parish is $45,900.
