Dear Parishioners,

Peter and Paul are the two great apostles of our church. Saint Paul was the apostle to the Gentiles, and Saint Peter was the apostle to the Jewish people. Between the two of them, the church spread throughout all of the Mediterranean region and finally throughout all the world. As we hear in the readings from the Bible this

weekend, both were fearless in the face of great opposition.

In the first reading from the Acts of the Apostles, James has

already been killed. He was the apostle who led the Christian

community in Jerusalem. Peter is in prison, and awaiting trial, when God intervenes by sending an angel to save him. Nothing but the belief in the love of Jesus, his death and his resurrection, could have propelled these two men forward. Paul, formerly known as Saul, had persecuted Christians, and Peter had denied Jesus three times, but here we see a completely opposite picture of these two Saints – – they are courageous, fearless, and

committed.  

When we face opposition in our lives, when we doubt our faith, when we feel like we cannot make a difference because we are one person, pray to Saint Peter and Saint Paul for courage, lack of fear, and commitment. 

Fr. Jerry Francik

We are having several issues with the Blessed Sacrament being left

exposed in the Little Church. Please do not touch the tabernacle door unless you are a regular scheduled adorer who needs to close it. 

Adoration takes place on Monday—Tuesday—Thursday—Friday from 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM.  

In response to a recent e-mail that was sent to all families registered with the Sacred Heart Glyndon Soccer Club, we would like to take the time to clarify a few things on behalf of the parish as several of you have reached out to us. We learned in early May that there was no clear financial oversight/protocol being followed by the soccer program and moved quickly to pause it while we researched the issue. All those who had registered early for the 2025 season have been refunded.  While investigating these financial discrepancies, we were told that only 24% of registrants had any affiliation with our school or parish. When removing the high school teams, that number dropped to 17%. While we appreciate the benefits of sports programs for our youth and the long history of the Sacred Heart Glyndon Soccer program, the current model is not one that aligns with our vision or mission as a religious institution in the community nor does it fully serve those who have chosen to be members of our congregation or school.  With the aid of new leadership, we hope to soon begin a clinic and CYO only program, similar to our basketball program, in the fall of 2025. 

If you are interested in staying posted on our plans, please see our weekly bulletin, Flocknote e-mail or parish website at shgparish.org.

If you are interested in helping us as we move forward, please reach out to pdryden@shgparish.org.

Sincerely,

Father Jerry Francik

Pastor
