The ministry of altar server is open to any boy, fourth grade through high school age. Altar servers must be reliable in attending the liturgies for which they are scheduled. Contact the Parish Office if interested in serving.
That is a goooooood sign we are in the right spot. Fr. James Adams(Steubenville grad) celebrated Mass reverently although our own children would not cooperate so we spent half our time in the crying room (which was very convenient). This was the Ordinary Mass but Fr. Adams would face the tabernacle from the side during prayers and turn to face the people when they were referenced(did not stand ad orientem for the Canon). The Pater Noster was sung in Latin and only one extra communion minister. My only gripe was Father used "Eucharistic Prayer" II for the Canon. Since it was Pentecost, Eucharistic Prayer I has a special section just for this major feast.Pentecost
In union with the whole Church we celebrate the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit appeared to the apostles in the form of countless tongues. We honor Mary, the ever-virgin mother of Jesus Christ our Lord and God…
By the way I see the new translation is going to be much better
Pentecost
Celebrating the most sacred day of Pentecost, on which the Holy Spirit appeared to the Apostles in tongues of fire, and in communion with those whose memory we venerate, especially the glorious ever-Virgin Mary, Mother of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ…
But everything was done well, and it is a beautiful church(although our crazed children prevented any photo ops). If your shopping around or just visiting south of the cities, I would recommend checking it out.

I demand a picture of one of the Twins on this post as well Badger... preferably Joe Mauer!!!!
Hmm, there doesn't appear to be enough room....
Next time you're in the Twin Cities, find St. Agnes (in St Paul.)
Worth the effort, especially for their sung Mass.
Thanks D29, ironically we are going to St Agnes this weekend(also up for the homeschooling conference). I know Msgr. Schuler had maintained an excellent tradition of music there. I've never been there but I've heard from some others its quite the treat. Last weekends game time, ect prevented us from going all the way into town for Mass.
By the way, how did Mass at Oconomowoc go on the 16th?
Very well, IMHO. The Chant was a bit shaky--frankly, I chose to try to work with all the singers who wanted to sing rather than to FIRE all except the 4 who knew what they were doing.
The Haydn was wonderful.
As could be expected, there were a couple of glitchies which arose both from the altar and from the choir-loft. Minor; souls will not be lost over them.
Only one real disappointment: the number of people (around 10-15%) who showed up in shorts (!!!) for Mass.
I'm one of those who don't know what they are doing in the choir, but I'm willing to do what I'm told. I'm glad it went well, hopefully on a more regular basis. There are always a few shmoes who can't suffer 70 degree weather without a tank top and shorts on.
