Do you have a gift for helping people feel welcome? Does saying, "Hello!" to people walking in the door fill your heart with joy? If you answered yes to either of these questions, we warmly invite you to share your gifts and help us welcome people into our faith community before our weekend Masses. We are particularly looking for people to help us before Saturday evening Mass at 4:30 p.m. and Sunday morning Mass at 8:00 a.m. Please contact Laura Stierman and let her know when you can help.

The Knights of Columbus is an international organization for Catholic men, guided on the principles of Charity, Unity, and Fraternity. Our local Hastings Council #1600 was established over 100 years ago in 1913. As a Knight, you have the opportunity to strengthen this parish, give back to your community, and grow in your faith. When you join the Knights you aren't making a big time commitment. You get out of it what you choose to put into it. By volunteering an hour here or there you can make an enormous difference in your life and the lives of others. For more information on joining the Knights of Columbus, contact Grand Knight Gary Wynia at 651-247-7363 or click HERE.
