Pelican Valley ACC

All are Welcome

Welcome

In 2019, the Diocese of St. Cloud combined the three parishes of Church of Our Lady of Victory, St. Leonard Parish and St. Elizabeth’s Parish into an Area Catholic Community. As the Body of Christ, we come together and are known as the “Pelican Valley Area Catholic Community”


YOU are invited – All are Welcome!! Pelican Valley Area Catholic Community’s faith family looks forward to dining regularly with you at the Lord’s table. The Venerable Fulton Sheen shares his wisdom: “He seeks us before we dream of seeking him; he knocks before we invite him in; he loves us before we respond.”


Our Pastor, Father Alan Wielinski, recognizes each of our parishes has its own identity; however, together we work for the common good of our ACC through our mission.

A Message From Father Alan
Dear Pelican Valley ACC,

Dear members of our Area Catholic Community, I share

with you some words of healing and guidance from

Archbishop Bernard Hebda of Minneapolis-St. Paul: "We

continue to be at a time in this country when we need to

lower the temperature of rhetoric, stop fear-filled

speculation and start seeing all people as created in the

image and likeness of God. That is as true for our

immigrant sisters and brothers as it is for our elected

officials and those who are responsible for enforcing our

laws. I echo today the repeated call of the U. S. Catholic

bishops that we come together as a nation and pass

meaningful immigration reform that does justice to all

parties.....It is only by working together, with God's help,

that we will have peace in our communities, state and

world."

In these difficult times let us recommit ourselves to daily

prayer, participation in in the sacraments especially

Eucharist and Reconciliation, times of adoration and

reflection, keeping ourselves immersed in God's Word and

focused on God's ways and Christ who lives in all of us.

This is how we begin to bring forth God's light to shine

through the darkness we are experiencing.

God's peace, Father Alan

Estimado ACC de Pelican Valley:

Estimados miembros de nuestra Comunidad Católica

del Área, les comparto algunas palabras de sanación y

guía del Arzobispo Bernard Hebda de Minneapolis-St.

Paul: "Seguimos viviendo un momento en este país en el

que necesitamos bajar el tono de la retórica, detener las

especulaciones infundadas y comenzar a ver a todas las

personas como creadas a imagen y semejanza de Dios.

Esto es tan cierto para nuestros hermanos y hermanas

inmigrantes como para nuestros funcionarios electos y

quienes son responsables de hacer cumplir nuestras

leyes. Hoy me uno al llamado reiterado de los obispos

católicos de Estados Unidos para que nos unamos como

nación y aprobemos una reforma migratoria significativa

que haga justicia a todas las partes... Solo trabajando

juntos, con la ayuda de Dios, tendremos paz en nuestras

comunidades, estado y en el mundo."

En estos tiempos difíciles, comprometámonos

nuevamente a la oración diaria, a la participación en los

sacramentos, especialmente la Eucaristía y la

Reconciliación, a momentos de adoración y reflexión,

manteniéndonos inmersos en la Palabra de Dios y

centrados en los caminos de Dios y en Cristo que vive en

todos nosotros. Así es como comenzamos a hacer que la

luz de Dios brille a través de la oscuridad que estamos

experimentando.

La paz de Dios, Padre Alan
