A message from our pastor

Oct. 20, 2020

Dear parish members and friends,

Through this brief message, I share with you today that Deacon Steve and Deacon Mohn are currently at home recovering from Covid-19 and I am quarantining as I await results of my Covid-19 test. I have arranged for substitute clergy to fill in for the parish in the meantime.

Our deacons and I are working from home, while our parish staff members are here for you with parish office hours as usual. Please don’t hesitate to call the parish office if we can assist you in any way.

Please include us, as well as everyone who is affected by this virus, in your prayers. Thank you for your kindness and may God bless you.

With gratitude to God for you, our parish family,

Fr. Bruce, Deacon Steve, Deacon Mohn and the staff at Our Lady of Grace

Oct. 28 and Nov. 1 cancellations due to high coronavirus numbers in our county

Dear Faith Formation families: With the large number of coronavirus cases in our county, we have decided to cancel our Wednesday, Oct. 28, and Sunday, Nov. 1, Faith Formation classes. (Confirmation students: Fr. Bruce has not yet cancelled the Nov. 1 Confirmation class. We will let you know if he does.) When we return to classes, we will ask that all volunteers and students wear face masks to class (unless they are not able to do so for medical or other reasons), in accordance with the City of Minot mask mandate. In addition, we are cancelling Children's Liturgy of the Word during the 10:30 a.m. Mass for the month of November. If you have any questions, please contact Tanya in the Faith Formation office. Thank you.

Have you completed your Stewardship Renewal Form yet?

We encourage you to watch this brief video message from Fr. Bruce and complete your Stewardship Renewal Form as soon as possible. Thank you and may God bless you.

For Christ & For Country - A Eucharistic Procession 9/27/2020

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCtGbRiul6E&t=3s

Watch as the four Minot Catholic parishes, join together to help bring peace, prayer and healing to our nation.

Our Faith Formation and Youth programs have begun!

Registration is ongoing throughout the school year. Please check out our registration and volunteer form and call us with any questions. (The volunteer section is on page 4 of the form.) Several classes are already full. We also have a home school option. You'll find the registration form here.

What to expect at Mass

We welcome you to Mass! As we continue precautions due to the coronavirus, you will notice a few changes. Every other pew is blocked off to allow some distancing in the main church. We have bathrooms on both levels for hand washing and hand sanitizer is available at the entrances for those who wish to use it. Masks are welcome but not required. There is a mask-only area in the first four rows of the dining room, for those who wear masks and want to only sit near others who also wear masks. Offertory baskets are not passed, but are available at the entrances. Please use them or consider supporting your parish through online giving. We are not yet able to serve food after the Masses. The pews and touch points (door handles, etc.) are sanitized after every Mass. We currently go forward for Communion out of the side of the main pews rather than the middle aisle and Communion is brought directly to those in the small side pews. On top (behind the altar), Communion is as it has always been. If you have any questions, please contact us. We are so blessed to be able to celebrate the Mass and sacraments!

Prayers to Our Lady before and during Mass:

Parish Prayer to Our Lady of Grace
It is becoming for you, O Mary, to be mindful of us, as you stand near Him who bestowed upon you all graces, for you are the Mother of God and our Queen.
Come to our aid for the sake of the King, the Lord God and Master who was born of you. For this reason, you are called “full of grace.”
Be mindful of us, most holy Virgin, and bestow on us gifts from the riches of your graces, O Virgin, full of grace.

Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
