Our priests need our prayers in their spiritual battles! Join us at 7:00 PM, on Friday, June 28, at St. Anthony’s-Fargo, for a Holy Hour as part of the World Day of Prayer for the Sanctification of Priests. If you can’t join us on Friday, please consider your own special prayer on this special day.

We welcome John Wilebski to St. Francis de Sales and St. John's for our weekend Masses June 29-30. John just graduated from Immaculate Heart of Mary Seminary in Winona, MN where he has been attending college seminary for the past two years. In the fall, he will begin his theological studies at Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology in St. Meinrad, IN. God willing, he will be ordained a priest for the Diocese of Crookston in the summer of 2023. John will be speaking about his vocation to the priesthood, how to promote vocations within our parish, and creating a culture of vocations within the diocese!
