Prayer for Spiritual Communion My Jesus,
I believe that You are present in the Blessed Sacrament.
I love You above all things, and I desire You with all my heart.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,
I ask you to come spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already
In my heart and unite myself to You completely.
Please do not let me ever be separated from you.
Amen

3 Dear parishioners and visitors,
My article for this week is in anticipation for the begin-ning of the Lenten Season on Ash Wednesday, February 17th. Please read carefully and follow the instructions because of covid:
There will be two Masses: 8:30 AM and 7:00 PM. Some of the students in our Catholic school will attend the first Mass while students in religious education and their families attend the evening Mass. So there will not be much room at the first Mass and none at the second for others to attend maintaining space restrictions. I will offer a short prayer service at three other times with dis-tribution of ashes. So here is the schedule on Ash Wednesday:
7:00 AM: Prayer service and ashes – St. Gabriel 8:30 AM: Mass and ashes – St. Gabriel 12:15 PM: Prayer service and ashes – St. John 5:15 PM: Prayer service and ashes – St. John
7:00 PM: Mass and ashes – St. John
Please remember there is very little to no additional peo-ple at the two Masses; please come to one of the prayer services. Also, come on-time and stay for the entire Mass and service. The distribution of ashes will be done differently.
Thank you, and God bless you.
-Msgr. Stoetzel

Diaconate Discernment Retreat Saturday, February 27 Are you a man at least 35 years of age who feels a yearning to give yourself more radically to the service of God and the Church – preaching the Gospel, serving those in need, assisting at the altar? If you think God may be calling you to be a deacon, talk to your pastor about attending the Diaconate Discernment Retreat at St. Mary’s Church in Altoona on February 27, 2021. Then contact Deacon Bryan Hilts, Director of the Of-fice for the Diaconate at [email protected]. A new deacon for-mation class will begin in the fall of 2021 and attendance at the Discernment Retreat is a prerequisite

St. Patrick’s Parish Waukon will again be sponsoring the Christian Experience Weekend (CEW) It is an intense, adult renewal weekend. It is a shared religious experience, which grew out of the realization that the Christian Life has to be experienced. Since the Christian Life is a community life, it is best experienced in a community. The men’s CEW will be held at Village Creek Bible Camp between Waukon and Lansing February 26 - 28. The women’s CEW will be held at Village Creek Bible Camp March 5 - 7. For registra-tion forms or any questions contact: Ross Weymiller for Men’s CEW at (563) 380-9484 or Erin Plein (563)568-7443.for Women’s CEW. The cost is $95.00. The weekends are truly ecumenical weekends. Many people of various faiths have come together to experience a deeper love and relationship with God and find great rewards in devoting the entire weekend to God.
BAPTISM We welcome into the family of God, Briggs Brian Jaynes, son of Dustin M. & Ashley M. (Harris) Jaynes through the Sacrament of Baptism. May God continue to bless Briggs Brian and his family.
IN SYMPATHY Please remember Terry E. Reglin in your prayers. A private family funeral was held at St. Boniface Catho-lic Church in Waumandee, WI. May God grant Terry eternal life and comfort to his family.
School News.......The PreK classes entered the new year excited and ready to learn. We have been review-ing numbers, letters, and sight words, along with an Alaskan Unit and this week learning about the Rainfor-est. The weather has cooperated allowing us to enjoy the outdoors and God's beauty during this time of the year. -Mrs. Janet Steiner
