Ct. St. Bernard #886 will lead the Rosary on Wednesday nights during the month of October beginning on October 2nd.   Everyone is invited to come pray with them at 6:30 p.m at St. Anthony’s.

Tony & Darla Parsley of Adrian are not only collecting winter coats but also accepting any warm clothing.  Items may be dropped at their home on Maine Avenue.

Veryl Stoffel was able to cross an item off of his bucket list in early September.  He and his wife, Avis, and their daughters, Ellen Henning and Chris & John Rokeh of Brandon, SD traveled to Seneca, Illinois.  They spent time visiting with Veryl’s cousins, Merlyn, John, and Alene Higgins.  They are Jack Stoffel’s niece and nephews.  The Minnesota travelers were able to gather with about sixty of their extended relatives. A great visit!

Brenda Loosbrock, Mary Metz, Pearl Wieneke, and Deb Lutmer, of Ct. St. Bernard #886 attended the MN State Catholic Daughter summer workshop, “Standing Together to Build Unity”, in Marshall on Sunday. Catholic Daughters from Adrian, Wilmont, Marshall, Currie, Slayton, St. James, and Pipestone enjoyed the presentations and fellowship.  Ct. St. Bernard received first place honors in the national newsletter contest for their Division. The Catholic Daughters are starting a new year and invite any Catholic woman, age 18 or older, to join one of the largest international organizations of Catholic women in the world.

Congratulations to Alex Freimuth, Sara Knips, Emily LeBrun, and Blake Madison who were confirmed on Sunday, September 29, 2019 at St. Catherine’s Catholic Church in Luverne.  Bishop Quinn celebrated Mass with them and a reception followed. St. Anthony’s welcomes these new adult members of the church.
