Diocese is looking for members from each

parish to be on commissions that will aid the

ministry of the various diocesan directors and educate

parishioners in these respective areas. Each commission

will meet twice a year in a central location. The first

meeting for all of the commissions is August 12 from

9:00 AM to Noon at Fosston.

There are four commissions: Marriage and Family -

- Life and Justice -- Evangelization and Discipleship --

and Youth Ministry.

If you are interested in being on one of these commis-

sions please call Fr. John at the parish office - 463-2441.

Commission members will be invited to serve a three-

year term. Your participation will be a blessing to the

diocese and a blessing for you.

March Food Share Month For 35 years the March Campaign

has, with your help, restocked local

food shelves. Please bring nonper-

ishable food or monetary donations

to worship service during the month of March so to-

gether we can strive to #ENDHUNGER.

This week, we are taking up The Catholic Relief Services Collection

to respond to Jesus in disguise.

This collection helps six Catholic agencies to provide relief and support to struggling communities and to work toward peace and recon-ciliation among our marginalized brothers and sis-ters here and around the world. Please prayerfully consider how you can support the collection. Learn more at www.usccb.org/catholic-relief.

Stewardship of Time, Talent and Treasure -- “Seek

first the kingdom of God -- This weekend Joe Noel

spoke about how God wants us to be givers who are

cheerful and unafraid.. -- “Unbelievers are always wor-

ried about what they’re going to eat, what they’re going to

wear, what the future is going to bring, and I say to you,

seek first the kingdom of God and his holiness and these

other things will be added as well, because your heavenly

Father knows you need them.” - Luke 12:28-31

One formula for tithing to aim for is:

5% to one’s parish - 1% to the diocese -

4%+ to charity.

Sacred Heart Building Project Update

The good news is that several more have responded

with accelerated pledge payments, but we are still

waiting for some who have not pledged or responded

to the building program appeal. We need to keep

praying that all see that is an urgent and necessary

upgrade and improvement needed for our building

after 50 years of living in it. If we can reach

$650,000 in cash on hand we basically can begin the

reduced-size project. Right now, with recent pledge

payments and gifts we have about $385,000 in cash

and gifts out of $714,000 pledged.

Please keep praying for the project and speak to me, Fr.

John (463-2441) (confidential) if you have questions.

Questions for the Road Home/Dinner Table

“As Jesus passed by he saw a man blind from

birth. . . . . . and said to him, “Go wash in the

pool of Siloam.” So he went and washed and

came back able to see.” -- John 9: 1-6

Jesus went out to the blind man. Although there was a

crowd around because of the feast days going on, Jesus

would take time to do whatever he could to help. Each

person, Jesus shows us, is worthy of dignity no matter

who he or she is. Like the people who challenged Jesus’

actions and the man’s belief, we too, can choose to stay in

our blindness or we can choose to receive the gift of sight.

Describe a situation where blindness may have kept

you or someone else from taking an opportunity to

connect with others. What enabled you to overcome

such blindness?

How do you see our community reaching out to indi-

viduals who may be on the edge of life?

May 12-13, 2017 --This year St. Philip’s in

Bemidji will be 1 of 30 host sites WORLDWIDE for the New Evangelization Summit! What is the New Evangelization Summit? A two-day conference that will bring together speakers who are leaders in the New Evangelization to provide inspiration, encouragement, training, practical wis-dom and resources on how Catholics can effectively evangelize. All Catholics – pastors and the lay faith-ful – will greatly benefit from this powerful opportu-nity to be further equipped in the fundamental mis-sion of the Church. Who is speaking? Bishop Robert Barron, founder of Word on Fire Catholic Ministries and Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles; Sr. Miriam James Heidland, SOLT, missionary with the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity, Fr. Mi-chael White, priest in the Archdiocese of Baltimore, and co-author of “Rebuilt and Tools for Rebuilding”; Peter Herbeck, TV (Crossing the Goal on EWTN) and radio host, and author, plus, more! How do I sign up? Register for the two-day event streamed to Bemidji, MN from Ottawa, Ontario by visiting https://www.newevangelization.ca/#price

Sacred Heart Finance Council Notes from Mar. 20

1. Latest finance report shows us on budget.

2. New tri-parish website about ready. Ann and Pat

will look it over for any suggestions they might have.

3. The Capital Campaign is moving forward a little as

some did make an effort to speed up their pledge pay-

ments but so far we have not received other needed

pledges or donations that would allow us to consider

beginning the building phase.

4. We had a date in May for the financial planning and

end-of-life issues seminar but it conflicted with events

in the community. Will try for another date.

5. Joe Noel will be here this next weekend for a talk at

all Masses on stewardship. We will also do a time and

talent survey.

6. Latest DAA report shows that we are over our goal.

7. The council asked Fr. John to convene the building

and grounds committee to review current repair or re-

placement needs.

8. The pastoral council needs to set a date for the church

floor cleaning and waxing and general cleaning.

9. Focus Corp. is now scheduled to do light overall

cleaning quarterly. Bob Johnson does the weekly sur-

face cleaning and maintenance. The general cleaning

would cover the special annual or more difficult clean-

ing areas such as pews or waxing floors, dusting or

cleaning higher areas or windows.

10. Fr. John has a list of smaller projects that he put out

for parishioners to take on.

11. We had serious fall on some ice at the end of the

sidewalk recently. The sidewalks were generally bare,

but snow had melted from the banks on the sides and

froze during the night and then got covered by snow.

Thankfully they seem to be recovering pretty well and

insurance has covered their medical needs. However, if

you notice ice on the sidewalk at any time, please take

care of it or let the parish know immediately.

12. Year-end report for the last fiscal year is about

ready to be published.

13. Agreed to remove and patch over the AC unit and

hole in the rectory living room wall. We now have cen-

tral air conditioning for the rectory and offices.

14. Next meeting: Monday May 8 at 5:15 PM.
