Dear Sacred Heart and St Mary on the Lake, Blessed 4th of July weekend and 250th birthday of America. An important time to reflect on our many blessings, the sacrifices of those who enabled us to enjoy such blessings, and the ways we can continue to grow. May we each be able to see the small way we can make our country a better place by how we live in Manitou Beach and Hudson. The following is an abridged form of the “Prayer for the Government of the United

Dear Sacred Heart and St. Mary on the Lake, We have a lot happening this weekend! I am so pleased to welcome Fr. Josh Bauer for a Mass of Thanksgiving this weekend at our 11am Mass at Sacred Heart. It was great to have him with us many times over the years as a seminarian and he left his mark with us- particularly helping with painting at Sacred Heart School and other projects. But it was better yet to see him grow into his vocation and now to welcome him as a

Dear Sacred Heart and St. Mary on the Lake, Every summer each parish in the Diocese hosts a summer mission appeal. They are a direct reminder of the fact that there is no such thing as a lone wolf Christian. The reality is that we are all a part of the body of Christ and that means we are a family with brothers and sisters. St. Paul perhaps best captures this truth in his first letter to the Church in Corinthians 12:12-26: “As a body is on

Dear Sacred Heart and St. Mary on the Lake, This weekend we celebrate our parish feast day, the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart. Make sure to enjoy the ice cream after the Masses. What does this feast mean for me? A common question people ask is simply this: “What is it like to be a priest?” One way I describe it is that being a priest is to see with the heart of God. It is a glimpse behind the veil when we see others as Jesus sees them.

Dear Sacred Heart and St. Mary on the Lake, We celebrate the feast of Corpus Christi in which we celebrate the gift of Jesus’ presence in the Eucharist. I love meeting with our little kids preparing for their first Holy Communion and asking them how much of Himself Jesus gives in the Eucharist. All of Himself. Then to ask how much of ourselves we are meant to give to Him when we receive. All of ourselves. On this weekend I wanted to share part of this a

Dear Sacred Heart and St. Mary on the Lake, Construction time! This coming Monday, June 1st, the window replacement project at Sacred Heart School kicks off. Krieghoff will hit the ground running and aims to have it completed by August 14th. Over that two and half month period, I ask for your patience and cooperation with the construction zone. At various times our school parking lot will be more or less available as there will be equipment moving about.

Dear Sacred Heart and St. Mary on the Lake, Blessings and safety for everyone this Memorial Day weekend. We will be celebrating Mass at 8am at Calvary Cemetery in Hudson on Memorial Day. It is a powerful way to start this day praying for those who have died so that we might have the freedoms we enjoy. It is a small way to thank them and their families who suffered their loss. I have been so pleased with the growing number of people who pray this Mass with
