LITURGICAL MINISTRIES SCHEDULE  

  Our liturgy committee is a body of committed members of our St. Ignatius Parish that serves to care for the liturgical life of our parish community. We are responsible for the planning, preparation, and implementation of all liturgies which includes Sunday services, feast days, and special occasions.
We are broken into eight ministries including sacristans, altar servers, greeters, lectors, Eucharistic ministers, music ministers, ushers and environment.
Please consider these MINISTRIES call our church secretary at 320-274-8828 if interested in joining a ministry. Thank you!


• There are presently 30+ Catholic residents at the Annandale Care Center facilities. Nothing brightens their day like a short visit - definitely the ‘best gift’ they will receive!  Help is also always needed at the First Friday Mass and Tuesday Communion Rosary Service at 10:30 in the chapel. Women visitors are terrific, but we have a big demand for men visitors, men appreciate men! If you’re interested in this ministry, both men and women, or for further information please call Renee Logais at 320-492-6403. 
We anxiously await your calls, the residents anxiously await your visits! Thank you for your kind consideration.

UPDATE:  As you know, our Sister Parish in Pacuan, Philippines suffered much destruction last month when hit by Typhoon Odette. The St. Ignatius Mission Team responded, by sending funds to help aid in their relief. This is the response we received from Suzanne Grace, President of the St Vincent Ferrer Mission Team.
“To: Mission Team of St. Ignatius of Antioch, Minnesota USA.

Saint Vincent Ferrer Quasi-Parish, Brgy. Pacuan, La Libertad, Negros Oriental received and acknowledged the amount that you sent. As of this time, the PPC and the Mission Team together with Rev. Father Mark Jason Bacalso are into the procurement phase of the relief goods. The packing and distribution phase will follow as scheduled. We are overwhelmed with gratitude for your immediate response. The amount will help more families and communities. Our hearts are filled with joy and gratitude that we are never alone, that we have you---all of you! Saint Vincent Ferrer Quasi-Parish would like to thank you all for your continued love and generosity. May God continue to bless all of you with abundance, peace of mind and happiness. And that, although we are miles apart, the relationship that we built will continue to grow in faith. 
Love, St. Vincent Ferrer Quasi-Parish.”
 They have since been able to procure the funds, that will help many in their community. Thank you all for keeping our Sister Parish in your prayers. for our Sister Parish in Pacuan Philippines as they struggle with the aftermath of a devastating typhoon Christmas weekend. St Ignatius recently sent 30 water filter systems to them and this is now about the only safe water available. The St. Ignatius Mission Team is making plans to send monetary aid as soon as possible and may ask for parish help in sending more water filtrations systems.
Please join us in prayer for the safety and strength for our brothers and sisters on the other side of the world.
