Welcome to the journey

Bishop Ricken has contacted Father Carl with new directions for Confirmation on Feb 6^th.   At this time, the Bishop has determined that he will be giving Father Carl the “Faculty” (go-ahead) to administer the Sacrament of Confirmation for our students. While we will miss having Bishop Ricken with us to celebrate, this is exciting for Father Carl and our parish community!
