The blizzard in the middle of December was zero visibility!

The second (or third?) blizzard with God's creative artistry!
Sunrise on the 29th, a very cold day!
And a beautiful, bright sun dog soon appeared!

The Diocese of Crookston will host a one-day Rescue Live revival on October 26 in East Grand Forks. The goal is to share the Gospel and invite people into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ through worship, fellowship, and prayer.

As part of the host team, we seek intercessory prayers for Father John Ricardo, the staff, and planning team, asking the Holy Spirit to guide and bless this event. We humbly request the Sisters of Saint Benedict to include us in your prayer list until the event concludes.

God’s blessings and peace to you all.
