Welcome to Our Lady of Victory

A Note from Father Alan

Welcome to our Confirmation candidates and their families, as these students present themselves in a Rite of Calling at the 10:30 mass this Sunday.  We pledge our prayerful support of these juniors in high school as they continue to grow in their awareness of the Holy Spirit’s presence in their life, and as they ask the questions, pray and grow in knowledge and faith. Deacon Dean is their primary  catechist.  Confirmation is scheduled for Sunday, May 3 at St. Mary’s in Breckenridge.

Fr. Bill Gamber wanted to make sure we all caught this little “100 Years Ago” message in the November 2, 2019 Daily Journal.  (Congratulations to our Knights on the century anniversary of their council!

From the Daily Journal October 27— November 2, 1919

Fergus Falls Council, No. 1995 of the Knights of  Columbus, was organized in this city with a charter membership of about seventy-five. The council was instituted at the church of Our Lady of Victory, where the candidates and visiting members  received the Holy Communion. There were about 150 in attendance. Rev. Father Zitur preached the sermon. Music was given by the church choir, which sang for the first time since the cyclone.

This coming week I’ll be taking some vacation days, visiting friends.  Fr. Will Ovsak will be here for some of the daily Masses, Fr. Jeremy Ploof will have the school Mass on Friday, and please welcome  Fr. Joe Korf for the liturgies next weekend!  I will be back in the office Tuesday, November 19.

God bless your week!

programs across our diocese and the nation which strive to empower people living in poverty and identify and address causes of poverty to bring positive change to their communities. Twenty-five percent of funds collected stay local, and all funds collected make a huge difference to those living below the line!  Please prayerfully consider how you can support this collection and the work of the church on the margins.
