Helena Kowalska was born as the third child of a poor Polish family with ten children. At age fifteen, after only three years of school, she began to work to support the family. At the age of twenty she followed her calling to serve as a nun in the Catholic Church. She moved to Warsaw and visited several monasteries, but was rejected each time.
Eventually she was accepted on April 30, 1926 at the convent of the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy with the name Sister Maria Faustina of the Blessed Sacrament.

You are invited for the bible study that will be held on the 18th of May at 19.45 at the pastoral center. Let’s come together and listen to what God is teaching us about Himself. We will meditate about the following passage:

• John 10:22-42 Conflicts about Jesus being the Messiah

We will be blessed to count you among us!

Since Fr. Herman health status improved in the beginning of the year, we were trying to bring him back as a regular priest for the 2nd half of the year.
Unfortunately, due to the parish financial situation and concerns for his health, Fr. Herman will not celebrate mass again for our community.

We are sad about this decision, since Fr. Herman did a lot for our community in the last 10 years.

 

We would like to thank him very much for his service and care for our community, and bid him a farewell.
In our annual community day, “Assel day”, Fr. Herman will be present, and we will organize also there a celebration to thank him. So this is yet another reason for you to join Assel day!

We remind you that Assel day will take place on the 11th of June.

We look forward to see you there in a big group, and deliver a big thank you to Fr. Herman.
