“…do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.”

- John 14:37

Our limited human understanding cannot begin to

understand the immense power of God. Instead of

trusting in God, we think we can control every

outcome. Do you want to make God laugh? Tell Him your plans. The next time worry, anxiety or fear

creeps in, thank God for all He has given you and trust

He has a better plan for you.

Bishop John Folda - main celebrant

Reception to follow in Social Hall

Please be aware that this Mass will go longer than

normal and there will be extra family and friends of

those receiving the Sacraments in attendance.

It may be wise for those who normally attend the

11am Mass to try and attend a different Mass time.

P a r i s h E v e n t s 3

The next Mary’s Widows date will

be May 10. We will meet for lunch

at Divots at 11:30am.

Then Field Trip to Bergeson Nursery

Pat Weber at 701-799-6032 for

PILGRIMAGE TO ST. MARY'S CATHEDRAL TODAY SUNDAY, MAY 1

We will gather in the church at 3pm for a short talk by Father Moen on indulgences, what they are and how to

obtain one. We will then walk to the Cathedral where we will pass through the Holy Door to gain an

indulgence. There we will say a Chaplet of Divine Mercy and have a time of Adoration in front of the Blessed

Sacrament. Afterwards, we will have a time of fellowship and a light snack in the Cathedral Social Hall

downstairs. For those that may find it difficult to walk the mile to the Cathedral, or in the case of inclement

weather, please feel free to drive or make arrangements for a ride to meet the walking pilgrims at the

Cathedral. We anticipate it will take about 30 minutes to comfortably walk from Holy Spirit to St. Mary's.

Pro-Life Group Roses for Mothers Honor the one who gave you life and give her a Rose.

The Holy Spirit Pro-Life Group will be selling Roses

for $3 a piece next weekend, May 7 & 8, after all

Holy Spirit, such as supporting the kids who attend

the March for Life in Washington DC in January.

speaks at the table but looks at the television or the

What is an annulment?

The Catholic Church presumes all marriages to be valid.

However, this presumption can be overturned if there is

sufficient evidence that one or more of the essential elements of

Marriage were absent from the time of the wedding or that one

or both of the parties were incapable of giving consent. An

annulment allows a person to marry in the Church, or to have a

later civil marriage recognized by the Church. An annulment is

only granted if the Judges have moral certitude that no valid

marriage existed. Contact the Tribunal at 701-356-7940 if you

have any questions or would like to look into an annulment.
