Welcome to Our Lady of Victory

Today is the Bishop’s Annual Appeal Commitment  Sunday! All parishioners are asked to support the  ministries of the Diocese of St. Cloud. Thank you to all of you who have given to this appeal in past years or have responded to the recent mailing from Bishop Kettler.

Our Lady of Victory has a good record of strong support for the appeal. Your generosity is deeply appreciated and fulfills our shared mission to be Christ’s heart of mercy, voice of hope, and hands of justice.

It is important that each of us hear the call to share our gifts in support of our Catholic faith. This includes our parishes, our diocese and the Church throughout the world. The Bishop’s Annual Appeal is a very effective way to support services that the diocese provides to our     parish as well as vital ministries throughout the 16    counties of the Diocese of St. Cloud. Your participation can be in the form of a monetary gift, but please know that we also deeply appreciate those of you who pray for the Appeal and the ministries it supports.

Excitement is growing as our Parish Mission with Mark Price is now only 3 weeks away!  Join other parishioners for the four presentations and invite your neighbors and friends. There will be a reception each night following the presentation.  You can register in a variety of ways. Please see the article on Page 3 for details.

Blessings on your week!

Mission Prayer—Join the Journey

March 10-13, 2019

God of love, source of mercy and

compassion, as we prepare for our

parish mission, weave your dream for the

world into the fabric of our lives. Remove

the scales from our eyes as you did for

St. Paul and lift the indifference from our

hearts. Transform our lives as you did for

St. Peter, so that we may accomplish your

purpose. Give us the urgency of Mary and

Joseph, and a new commitment to care for

those you place before us.

Open us again to your love, your grace,

and the call to service. We want to be

renewed as followers and disciples of

Jesus, Your Son!

Amen.
