WINTER STORM POLICY…KWLM Radio 1340 AM and 102.5 FM will usually broadcast news about cancellation or postponement of church events including Sunday morning worship and/or Sunday School when the weather is stormy.  There is one “automatic” cancellation, however, YOUTH ACTIVITIES (INCLUDING WEDNESDAY CONFIRMATION CLASSES) will not be held if school is cancelled or dismissed early because of bad weather.  As much as we want and need your participation at worship and other church events, please use common sense before going out in bad weather.  You know best the condition of the roads in your neighborhood, the condition of your vehicle, and your own health.

VISITS AND HOME COMMUNION…
If you are aware of people with special celebrations coming up, or with special needs, please contact the parish office. We want to be informed about the births, deaths, hospitalizations, illnesses, accidents, anniversaries and special birthdays – so that we can uphold one another in prayer. Also call the parish office to request home communion. Feel free to leave a message on the answering machine.
