As I wrote on the postcard I sent out to many of those on our mailing list, (especially those in the Midwest)…. I wanted to let you know about the ‘Be a Light‘ Lunches I am hosting this year. If you are planning a visit, you might want to arrange to be at the Shrine […]
In my last Missionary Messenger I asked for volunteers to organize Bishop’s Prayer Wheels…finding seven people willing to pray for the Bishop of a diocese one day each week. (See ‘Praying for our Bishop’s’ article below) This is a list of the dioceses in the United States, and along with the Pope. On this list I […]

In May this prayer was first included in the mailing for the Missionaries of the Liturgy along with a prayer plan encouraging people to find other to pray the prayer for our country each day. Those who wish to do even more can pick one day of the week on which to offer extra prayers […]
If you’re looking for a nice gift for that athlete in your life, a sports medal might be just what you need. They come in a variety of sports such as basketball, baseball, football, soccer, even wrestling…and other sports as well. Each also puts the athlete in St. Christopher’s care so that his prayers […]
Late in June two generous visitors to the Shrine made a special stop to help work on the grounds. Judy Koenn from Chelsea, Michigan spent a week at the end of June helping Servant Maria inside and out, especially helping to make the grounds look much nicer. Noreen Schreiber biked up from Mosinee, Wisconsin (200 miles!) […]
The sad day came for our ice cream lovers….the day on which they knew they wouldn’t be back to the Bishop Baraga Shrine to have ice cream for another year.
