From the Pastor’s Desk
by Fr. Owen Korte
† Blessing of Pets: This coming Tuesday is the Feast of St.
Francis. I am going to host a short blessing of Pets on
Sunday, Oct. 2 at noon in front of Holy Trinity Church.
Bring all your fury and scaly creatures for a blessing. In a
farm community this might seem a bit out of place but so
many of us have or have had pets and we know how
important they are. Next spring I plan on going out to
the farms in our parish to offer a blessing of fields and
livestock but for this Day in honor of the Church’s lover
of Animals, St. Francis, it would be good to bless our pets.
† Religious Education Classes meet this coming
Wednesday beginning at 6:30 pm. The topic is the
Blessed Virgin Mary.
† Liturgy and Spirituality Committee will meet this coming
Thursday at 7:00 pm at the Parish Rectory Meeting
Room.
† First Friday: We have First Friday this coming Friday,
Oct. 7. We will have Mass at 8:05 am with all the
students from Holy Trinity and Cedar. Exposition of the
Blessed Sacrament will take place all day beginning at the
end of mass and concluding with a service at 3:00 pm.
All are welcome to come to church for prayer during the
day and join all the students for the closing service and
Benediction.
† Confirmation:
Archbishop Lucas will celebrate the
Sacrament of Confirmation at 5:00 pm on Saturday, Oct.
8th. Note the time is a half hour earlier than usual.
Please pray for our young people, members of the 9th
and 10th grade classes from Holy Trinity, who have
prepared themselves and have been prepared by the
Lord.
May they open their hearts to receive this
outpouring of the Holy Spirit completing their full
Initiation into the Church. Confirmation practice is
Wednesday night, Oct. 5, beginning at 7:00 pm in the
church. Also, everyone is invited to pray with the
Confirmation students as they hold an all night vigil on
the night before their Confirmation, Friday, Oct 7th, at
6:00 p.m. until Saturday, Oct. 8th at noon. Come to
pray for a half hour or an hour with the students through
the night.
† Archbishop’s Annual Appeal: As of 9/27 we have
pledged and/or given $8,010.00 which is 22.9% of the
goal of $34,925.30 and this coming from 40 donors.
Please use the pledge form that was mailed to you to
make your donation. Please mail it in and do not put it
in the collection basket.

Rural North Central Deanery
First Annual – Blue Mass
Monday, October 3, 2016
7 PM @ Ss. Peter and Paul Church
in Bow Valley, NE
A Blue Mass is a tradition of offering Mass in honor of
First Responders, those in law enforcement and fire
safety on the federal, state and local levels. The
Mass remembers those who have fallen and supports
those who serve. Join the Priests of this Deanery as
we offer this Mass for all of our First Responders in
our communities.
All area Volunteer Fire Departments, Sheriff’s Departments,
EMT volunteers, State Patrol and local Police are invited and
encouraged to attend in their uniforms.
