Update: all masses on Ash Wednesday are cancelled due to weather and road conditions.

Due to the cold, power outages, and unsafe road conditions Father has canceled Masses for tonight, Monday night, Tuesday Morning, and Wednesday Morning.
During the day Wednesday we will look at conditions and determine if it will be safe for Wednesday night Masses both at Sacred Heart and St Marys.
Lets continue to pray for each other, that all remain safe. Let us, also, pray for those we may not know who are dealing with the cold weather without the necessary resources to deal with it.

In the Catholic Church in the United States, January 22 is designated as a particular day of prayer and penance, called the “Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children”. As Catholics, we are called to observe this day through the penitential practices of prayer, fasting, and/or giving alms. For more information see respectlife.org/january-22. (Linda Kutach Strmiska)

"We need to participate for the common good. Sometimes we hear: a good Catholic is not interested in politics. This is not true: good Catholics immerse themselves in politics by offering the best of themselves so that the leader can govern." - Pope Francis, 9/16/13

Voting is a moral responsibility. Do your research and find out where candidates stand on issues. The Catholic Bishops of the United States have stated:

"The threat of abortion remains our preeminent priority because it directly attacks life itself, because it takes place within the sanctuary of the family, and because of the number of lives destroyed. At the same time, we cannot dismiss or ignore other serious threats to human life and dignity such as racism, the environmental crisis, poverty and the death penalty.

Our efforts to protect the unborn remain as important as ever, for just as the Supreme Court may allow greater latitude for state laws restricting abortion, state legislators have passed statutes not only keeping abortion legal through all nine months of pregnancy but opening the door to infanticide. "

At Human Life Action, we strive each day to give a voice to millions of American Catholics who care about the inherent dignity of every person.
