Message from Priests:As we celebrate Pentecost, it brings a close to the Easter season. We now return to Ordinary time until the first Sunday of Advent. A reminder about Pentecost is that the Holy Spirit manifests Christ to us, recalls his words, and opens our minds to the Paschal Mystery. We
INTERCESSIONS FOR LIFE – May we treat one another with love that reflects the sacredness of human life;We pray to the Lord; We pray to the Lord: BULLETIN BRIEFS – We can all help encourage our government and other institutions to support life. They must always aid and support mothers and children, and never offer to pay for the destruction of life as a ‘solution’ to the challenges women face. The call to uphold women’s dignity and well-being, and that of their unborn children, is one and the same.”USCCB Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities “Every Life is Worth Living” Prayer Card, www.usccb.org/worth-living

CATHOLIC COMMUNICATIONS CAMPAIGN
Thank you for your generosity to last week’s collection for the Catholic
Communication Campaign (CCC). Your support will help the CCC connect
millions of people with Christ and spread the gospel message. If you missed the collection, it’s not too late to give. Visit www.usccb.org/ccc/nationalcollections and click on the “How to Give” link on
the left.
RECTORY OFFICE NEWS Due to the demands of the wider area faith community finance needs the Minneota Parish office will be closed Monday and Thursday to focus on those aspects of the job. If you need
anything from the office remember to do it on Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday. Office hours will be from 8 am to 11:45
am and then again from 12:45 pm to 4:30 pm. As you may remember the office was only open 3 days a week up until 4
years ago. We are going to go back to 3 days a week for general office needs. Scrip will be sent home on Tuesday or
Friday if you send it in the days the office is closed.A huge thank you goes out to those who have put in so many
volunteer hours on the new office project. It is greatly appreciated. Things are moving along quickly and it is starting
to look like new office space. More updates will be put in about when the Parish Office will open up in the new
container if the item has nuts in it. Any questions please contact Cynthia Beisler at 507-591-0257 or email at [email protected]. This will be a wonderful week for our youth as they grow closer to God and to our beautiful Catholic Faith. Thank you so much for your support!!!
“ONE MORE TIME” THRIFT STORE - We at the Thrift Store would like to thank the people who donate their clothes, toys and items to our store. Through your generosity our store is successful. Donations are accepted during regular store hours. Thank you. ** Come and check out our weekly In-Store Specials. Follow us on Facebook.
BAPTISM PREP –To set up a baptism date please call the St. Edward Office at 507-872-6346. Please check the Church website for the God Parent Requirements.
CCD - The year will be coming to a close here and we are already looking at next year. If the thought has ever crossed your mind to teach CCD or if you feel like you just want to help the church in some way the CCD program could put your gifts, of the Holy Spirit, to work. Please grab and fill out an application in the back of church. Thank you for listening to Gods call in your life.
Totus Tuus- This event is back and there is time to turn in those registration forms. Totus Tuus means totally yours and is a look at our faith using the tools and models of the faith like the Rosary, the Saints, and Mary. Mary is the best example of being Totally Gods and our youth will have the chance to learn about her story and many other leaders of our faith from not just one team but two teams that are educated and trained to give these lessons in an interactive intense week of prayer with worship. We are blessed to have two members of these teams come from our very own AFC; Tanner Thooft and Nik Bot. The hosting parish this year is Canby, St. Peter. Please consider signing your child up. Registration forms can be found in the back of churches. Event dates are June 3-8 with a day session for 1st -6th grade and an evening session for grades 7-12 of the 2018-2019 school year.
Steubenville:Steubenville Conference is a chance for our youth to be exposed to Christ love in an intense weekend with deep discussion on the faith. Many fruits have come from this conference like the youth having come back filled with a desire to do more for their faith community and being more active in events with the youth in our own parish. This is a chance for us to grow Catholic leaders in our own community. With this said they do need your help in attending this event as the cost of such growth development can be challenging for some. Will you aid them in this opportunity and in doing so aid in the growth of our AFC. We will be selling goodies after mass at St. Edward’s and St. Leo's on Mother’s day. Pick Mom up a treat. Thank you for your help to better our Faith Community by bettering our youth.

A YEAR WITH POPE FRANCIS DAILY RELECTIONS – *** WELCOME THE HOLY SPIRIT***
When we welcome the Holy Spirit into our hearts and allow him to act. Christ makes himself present in us and takes shape in our lives through us, it will be he – Christ himself – who prays, forgives, give hope and consolation, serves the brethren, draws close to the needy and to the least, creates community, and sow’s peace. Think how important this is: by means of the Holy Spirit, Christ himself comes to do all this among us and for us. –General Audience, Jan. 29, 2014
Reflection: Do you want to love more ardently? Serve more diligently? Forgive more willingly? The Holy Spirit can allow us to do these things if we open ourselves more to him. Come Holy Spirit, teach us to be like Christ.
Relic tour: Our Churches history is filled with drama, scandal, love, war, triumph and more. What do you expect when you have a church that dates to the son of God. With all this history God has been able to continue to bless us with many great examples of the faith through the Saints. God continues to work through these Saints in what we refer to as Miracles. Miracles have been worked through prayer of novenas and other devotions to specific Saints. We are offered a rare opportunity to be as close to the Church Triumphant as possible. On May 25 at 7pm in St. Leo at St. Leo parish, we will have over 150 relics of these holy men and women God has gifted overflowing graces to. We will have them present to us to venerate and possibly have miracles in our own life take place here. These relics have been deemed worthy to venerate by the Church and Miracles have happened at this event in other cities. Please find the time to come to this and give God the opportunity to work through his Church to bless you.
“What is a relic?” Some of you may ask. A relic is an object connected with a saint, e.g. part of the body or clothing or something the person had used or touched. Relics are not allowed to be bought or sold but free will donations may be made so that this event may continue on its journey to touch the hearts and souls that need the love of Christ.
**Remember to cherish the light of Christ in the hearts of the children you know!**
!FOR A CHUCKLE!10 Church Billboard Signs. 1) Free Trip to heaven. Details Inside! 2) Try our Sundays. They are better than Baskin-Robbins. 3) Searching for a new look? Have your faith lifted here! 4) An ad for a Church has a picture of two hands holding stone tablets on which the Ten Commandments are inscribed and a headline that reads, "For fast, fast, fast relief, take two tablets. 5) When the restaurant next to the Church put out a big sign that said, "Open Sundays," the church reciprocated with its own message: "We are open on Sundays, too." 6) Have trouble sleeping? We have sermons -- come hear one! 7) Come in and pray today. Beat the Christmas rush! 8) Sign broken. Message inside this Sunday. 9) Come work for the Lord. The work is hard, the hours are long and the pay is low. But the retirement benefits are out of this world. 10) If you're headed in the wrong direction, God allows U-turns.

MISSION TRIP:
My name is Cole Bot and I will be leaving for Denver, CO at the end of May to join the Catholic, nonprofit mission Christ in the City (see www.christinthecity.co), which works to build missionaries and community in knowing, loving, and serving the poor. For two months from June 1 to August 1, I will participate in daily Mass and Adoration, walk the streets of downtown Denver befriending the poor, and help out with all kinds of community services—all while sharing in communal life with fellow missionaries. To attend the mission, I must fundraise $1,700 by May 31st; I will be fundraising all May and any extra funds will go to the mission. Please consider partnering with me to serve our friends on the streets! Your spiritual and/or monetary support makes you a part of our mission. To learn more about the mission and to support us, you can email me at [email protected] or call me at 507-401-0049. Rest assured I will pray for all of you and any intentions you provide for while I am there. Thank you and God bless you!
