Carolyn Hall | After 9 AM & 11 AM Masses
Sr. Maddie Shogren has received a new assignment and we want to say our goodbye(s); Sr. Maddy Elking, who recently professed her temporal vows at Saint Paul Seminary (and has had involvement with our parish's Ignite ministry back in '18-'19), has now come on staff and we want to say our hello(s)! Join us at Coffee and Donuts after 9 AM & 11 AM Masses, October 1st to wish both sisters well!
And below, also shared in this past Sunday's bulletin, is Sr. Maddie's public farewell note!
I want to share with all of you that the Lord has assigned me to serve in a different parish this year! I will still be in Minnesota, but I will no longer be serving at St. Mark’s. I am very grateful to the Lord for the gift it has been to serve you at St. Mark’s these past two years and I am thankful for all we have been able to share together! It’s been so encouraging to see Family Faith Formation blossom under God’s blessing and I have been greatly edified by the wonderful youth I have had the honor of serving in the Ignite youth ministry. Thank you all for your faithful witness and please know that we are always united in prayer as one strong family in Christ!
In this new year, Sr. Maddy Elking will be joining Sr. Leann in serving the St. Mark’s family. In the coming weeks, you will have the opportunity to get to know Sr. Maddy better and discover the unique gifts she has been blessed with for the building up of the parish community.
I would like to ask you for your prayers as I begin my new mission. May the Lord bless you abundantly! Be holy!
Next weekend both Sr. Maddy Elking and I will be at Coffee and Donuts! We hope to see many of you there!
In His Sacred Heart,
Sr. Maddie Shogren, PES
