Proceeds from items purchased from the Gift Shop from April 1st, 2013 through the end of the year will go towards the Living Water Project. This project will help to build five earthen reservoirs and dams which hold the scarce rain that falls in the drought stricken area of Kitui, Kenya. If you have questions about an item or don't see what you would like to purchase, please give Joyce Lorentz a call at 507-263-2452. If you need to order an item, please place your order at least two weeks in advance. Living Water Project calendars are available at church entrances. The Gift Shop is located in the Sacristy. Enter through the south door of the church, walk past the Parish Office door to the open door on your left or if you are coming from the lower level, walk up the stairs and through the open door at the top. |

| This fall, the Archbishop Harry J. Flynn Catechetical Institute will begin another two-year course. The classes will be held at the Church of the Epiphany in Coon Rapids. Under the direction of Mr. Jeff Cavins and taught by some of the best instructors in the Twin cities, the program follows the four pillars of the Catechism of the Catholic Church and will make sense of all things Catholic, deepen your faith, and lay out the roadmap to heaven. The classes are divided into four eleven-week modules and meet on Monday evenings, 7:00-9:00 PM, with two Saturday morning formative sessions per module. Applications are now being accepted through June 1, 2013 for the class beginning in September.

| Elevator Committee | |||||||||||||
| We have recently formed an Elevator Committee that will be meeting on a regular basis during the next few months to plan for the location and installation of an elevator for access to and from the basement level. We believe that the installation of an elevator will solve a much needed access issue, and also enhance the use and enjoyment of our entire Parish facility. Funding is being provided for by donations from individual contributions from Parish members. We will learn more about actual costs after we have received firm construction bids for the work. If you have an opinion or information that you would like to share with the committee, please send a note to the parish office directed to the Elevator Committee or contact a member directly. The members of the Committee are listed below:
