Landon Medinger, a young Boy Scout from Mandan, chose to repair a rural cemetery for his Eagle Scout project. He chose Sts. Peter & Paul Cemetery after seeing pictures on line. He planned the project, raised funds, found donors and volunteers to help. They cleaned up the tree rows, repaired and repainted crosses and put in a new sign for the entrance. There are pictures on our home page as well as in our photo album. (Check under the News/ Event Tab.)

NOTICE regarding the Janssen/Johnson & Johnson vaccine: the recently approved (FDA 2-27-2021) vaccine produced by Janssen/Johnson & Johnson used abortion-derived cell lines in the design, development, production and lab testing. This Janssen/Johnson & Johnson vaccine is morally compromised and therefore unacceptable for any Catholic physician or health-care worker to dispense and for any Catholic to receive due to its direct connection to the intrinsically evil act of abortion. No one should use or receive this vaccine but there is not justification for any Catholic to do so. Two morally acceptable vaccines are available and may be used. As always no one is bound to receive this vaccine, but it remains an individual and informed decision.
Bishop Kagan is lifting the dispensation from attending Mass starting on the first Sunday of Lent, February 21, 2021. All Catholics are obligated to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days. Regular seating and Holy Water fonts are also reinstated. Come join your faith family worshipping God!
