Faithful Citizenship
We are in a presidential election year, and the Church has many resources for us to form our consciences. These will be in our bulletins/websites/social media each week until the election. Our responsibility, as Catholics is for each of us to form our own consciences, to stand for issues and not candidates, and to live our faith publicly and civilly. This week our bulletin will have information on civil dialog, which is essential in expressing our values. Please take a look. And follow Diocese of Duluth Office of Social Apostolate on Facebook.

Editorial: Marriage season is here
07/12/23 4:18 pm
Amid all the splendor of a northern Minnesota summer, don’t miss one of its most beautiful aspects: weddings. It’s the time of year many couples choose to begin their lives together.
In our diocesan vocations prayer, alongside vocations to the priesthood, consecrated life, and permanent diaconate, we pray so often at Masses for an increase in “holy marriages in our diocese.” Society is undergoing a crisis of marriage and family. But it’s also true that the sacrament of marriage brings hope to society.

Inside the Capitol
Catholic social teaching espouses a preferential option for the poor and vulnerable. In the public policy context, this means that policies should first be evaluated based on how they will affect those most in distress (Matthew 25). It also means that addressing the needs of the poor and vulnerable should be one of the most important priorities in the legislative process, at whatever level of government.

The Diocese of Duluth will be discontinuing its televised Mass on WDIO-TV/WIRT-TV effective April 1. While this change will require some adjustment, live stream broadcasts of Mass from local parishes on the Internet are widely available, as are broadcasts on radio and cable television such as EWTN. Please let us know if you or a loved one need help accessing one of these broadcasts, and particularly if Communion visits and the other sacraments are needed for our homebound faithful. A complete list of live stream Masses from the Duluth Diocese is available at www.dioceseduluth.org/live-stream-masses.

Serenity 11th Step Retreat for Men & Women; October 4-6, 2024, presented by Fr. Bill Sheehan, OMI
Step 11: “Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.”
One of the underlying principles of 12-Step programs is that nothing happens by mistake. Members are encouraged to recognize their Higher Power, to listen to that Higher Power, and allow their self to be inspired by this Higher Power in their journey of recovery. This is achieved through prayer and meditation. Fr. Bill Sheehan, OMI, will offer retreatants the practice of centering prayer as an expression of the 11th Step. He will present what he describes as the Welcoming Prayer Practice which is a way of dealing with afflictive emotions and discuss Bill W’s letter regarding Emotional Sobriety. If time permits, he will offer tips on the practice of forgiveness. Per person: $50 deposit at registration and Suggested Donation of $250; includes 2 overnights, private accommodations and 5 meals; Register online at www.kingshouse.com or call 763-682-1394.
