Parents have a responsibility to raise their children in the faith of the Catholic Church. Every child must be receiving some sort of faith formation OUTSIDE the home either in a Catholic Elementary/High School or through a parish Faith Formation program. We have been using a very effective program for home based faith formation, which is open to ALL parishioners. Click the title above to read more.

O Holy Mary, Mother of Priests, who with your beloved spouse Saint Joseph, during your sojourn here below, did nurture, protect, and provide for the Most Sacred Divine Infant, Jesus Christ the High Priest. In remembrance of the joys, the sorrows, the sacrifices and the sufferings you endured as the Holy Family, we beg you now for your Heavenly maternal care for our beloved priests, your priest-sons O Merciful Mother, both living and deceased. With great confidence we beseech you to assist especially those priests who are the most troubled, tempted, discouraged and suffering. Intercede, too, for us, O Holy Mother, that we should not forget how are father Abraham reverenced Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of God Most High, even giving to him a tenth of all he had. With Abraham as our example, let us give constant thanks to God for all the good he has done for us through the hands of our dear priests, and let us never grow weary of giving assistance to all priests in their time of need. For as is sung in the Psalms, "God has sworn and He shall not repent, you are a priest forever in the line of Melchizedek!" Amen.

A word from Fr. John Shanahan:  With the recent close of the Saint Andrew Food Pantry, we are no longer accepting donations of food or money for the Food Pantry. We appreciate the years of  generosity of our parishioners with their time, treasure and talent in caring for those less fortunate.  ( Click the heading for additional information)

In this time of isolation, our 12:30 and 5 Choirs both wanted to do a “virtual choir” video where everyone sings their part at home and then they are all put together as they are at Mass. Both choirs chose the same song, “Great Are You Lord,” so we combined both choirs in one video. Their singing was inspired and they found it an awesome experience to see & hear everyone praising God together. Click to watch the video on YouTube.

Please join Fr. Jim and Fr. John as they livestream our May Crowing Prayer Service at 10:00AM on Friday, May 1st.. A rosary will be led by Deacon Kevin Bagley and our Interim School Principal Melissa Kasmeier.
