A message from Fr. Charlie

Rebuilding With Grace
 
The unprecedented scope and longevity of the Covid19 pandemic interrupted all aspects of life from work to school to worship.  As parish life slowly get back to where they were in the beginning of 2020, there are understandably many things that need to be rebuilt. 
 
Last fall, in earnest consultation with our Parish Leadership Team, we identified Faith Formation as a top priority for rebuilding with grace.  I am most grateful to Maredith Toweh, Director of Faith For Life at the Church of St. Stephen in Anoka and Molly Rausch, Youth Ministry and Liturgy Coordinator for St. Stephen’s who have graciously served us here at St. Gerard’s to provide catechetical programs and sacramental preparation programs for our children and young people.  Of course I am thankful as well to Fr. Bennet Tran, Pastor of St. Stephen’s, who supported his staff members who wanted to help us out here at St. Gerard’s.
 
I am sure that Maredith and Molly would be the first to tell you that they could not have done all the wonderful things that have happened in our Faith Formation programs without the talented and dedicated group of parishioners who assist as catechists and support volunteers.
 
In mid-May, our children will be making their First Communion right here at St. Gerard’s and later in May, our young people will be confirmed at the Basilica of St. Mary in Minneapolis.
 
I invite us to pray for all of our families who will be participating in these beautiful sacraments in the life of our Catholic faith.  I invite our prayers as well for our catechists, support volunteers and staff who have provided such a great gift to our children, young people, and their families.
 
Easter blessings,
Fr. Charlie Lachowitzer, Pastor
