Funeral for an Unclaimed Veteran

Prayers for Robin Adams

 

Brothers, I messaged Chuck yesterday and he let me know that Robin is in the hospital. She has fluid on her lungs and heart again. According to her Facebook post they are treating her for Radiation Pneumonia. Lets lift her up in our prayers as she has been through so much, may the Lord heal her body and strengthen her spirit. 

Lord Jesus Christ, by your five wounds, which you bore for us on the cross, have mercy on this sick servant, heal Robin of all bodily illness, and cleanse her of all sin and spiritual infirmity. Restore her to full health, that she may serve you with a grateful heart. Amen.

Council Agenda September 2026

 Brothers, we are going to be busy the next couple of months. We have a Senior fair that we are cooking at, Ministry Fair we are serving breakfast,  3 Fish Fries, Tootsie Roll Drive, Coats for Kids, and John will have a ramp/ deck to build. 

This Friday is the Senior Fair. We were asked to cook hamburgers for it, this will be a great opportunity to advertise our fish fries, and other activities that we do.  I will have my grill there but we will need a couple more, and about 5 guys to help cook and run food. If you can make it please let me know, I know a couple of you said that you could help at the meeting but as of right now I have not had anyone get back to me on helping with this. 

September 8th will be our monthly meeting, only one week away. 

Our first fish fry date is September 11, it will be for the TLC program. We will be giving all active and former members of the military a free meal that night. Moving forward will start serving at 4:30pm and will end at 6:30pm, our last few fish fries this window of time has seemed to be the busiest.  There is also a football game that night so hopefully this will help customers that are going to it. 

September 13 Holy Trinity will hold a Ministry Fair in the Hall after 10:30 Mass, we are going to be cooking breakfast for the Parish. We will also have a table setup for anyone that might be interested in joining the Knights of Columbus. This event will highlight all the things that go on at Holy Trinity and will hopefully be a great tool for people who have thought about being more involved but weren't sure where to start. 

October 2, we will have the first of two fish fries for our council again we will start serving at 4:30pm ending at 6:30pm. 

October 10 and 11, we will have the Tootsie Roll Drive going on, I will have sign up for that at the meeting next Tuesday. 

October 23, we have our second fish fry to support our council, 4:30pm - 6:30pm.

October 24, will be Marshfield's Coats for Kids distribution. 

Brothers, we are going to be busy, help out wherever you can. I will see you all next week at the meeting.

August Council Meeting

 

Brothers, our monthly meeting is tomorrow night, I look forward to seeing you all there. Adoration and Confessions start at 5 PM with Mass at 6 PM. The meeting will follow at 7 PM. I have attached a copy of the agenda for the meeting. 

There are several events coming up, please participate and help where you can. Even if you can't stay long at an event, just stopping by to visit and give support to what we are doing is great and makes our council stronger. 

Dads, we have two of the best opportunities coming up in October to bring your kids out with you as we help those in need.  One is the Tootsie Roll Drive, it is a great time for young kids to come out and be involved. I love making this a competition with my kids to see who can hand out more tootsie rolls. The second is for slightly older kids and that is the Coats for Kids drives. The feeling you get when a kid finds that coat that makes their eyes light up is truly amazing. Our youth are awesome at helping the kids find those special coats as they connect on a different level, so please don't be afraid to bring your kids to help.

Prayers Needed....for Robin Adams

 Brothers, we have our monthly meeting Tuesday 8/11/26 at 7pm. There will be lots of dates given and finalized at the meeting so please be there. Adoration and Confessions start at 5pm Mass will be at 6pm.  

Robin Adams was discharged from Mercy on Thursday. This was her Facebook post from Thursday. 

"So it had been determined I had a mild heart attack recently. I have pleurisy and inflammation. I had a collapsed lower lobe lung. I do not wish these things on my worst enemy. Luckily the heart attack was so mild that it didn’t affect the rest of the heart. I am blessed. Pleurisy is very painful."

Brothers please continue to pray for Robin while she heals and has follow-up appointments.

Brothers, Robin Adams, went into the hospital yesterday morning. She had severe chest pains, the worst she has ever had. She had Chuck call an ambulance to take here to Mercy. The doctors ran several tests, she had to stay there last night. They know it wasn't a heart attack, she does have fluid on her lungs and it is painful to breathe. I believe she is still there. They have been doing tests all day, some of which were very painful. Please pray that her pain be eased, she can get some peaceful rest, and that God will heal her.

Brendan Durby spoke with Travis Hurst today on the phone. While on the phone Travis said he was involved in a terrible bike wreck. Travis is recovering but I am sure he could use prayers. 

Prayer to the Holy Spirit for Healing                                                                    

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and enkindle in them the fire of your love. Breathe your healing breath into the depths of Robin Adams and Travis Hurst, bringing light where there is darkness, and renewal where there is brokenness. Heal our spiritual blindness and grant us the grace to see Christ in this trial. Amen.

Mass begins at 10:30 AM, please arrive earlier as there will most likely be a crowd. Thank you Howard for answering the call to this wonderful vocation. 

Dana Gardner passed away

 

Brothers, John Tieskotter messaged me this morning that his brother-in-law, Dana Gardner passed away. Dan lived near Elma, Iowa, he had been battling cancer. Please pray for the repose of his soul and for the peace of God to ease the pain and sorrow his family feels. 

Prayer for Eternal Rest

In your hands, O Lord, we humbly entrust our brothers and sisters. In this life you embraced them with your tender love;  deliver them now from every evil and bid them eternal rest.  The old order has passed away: welcome them into paradise, where there will be no sorrow, no weeping or pain, but the fullness of peace and joy with your Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen. 

Brothers this past Tuesday Richard Holland was able at our Insulation of Officers and let us know that his wife had fallen and broke her right clavicle. Please pray for healing for her and pray for Richard as he had not been feeling the best. 

Lord Jesus Christ, Savior and consoler of all who put their trust in you, we humbly commend into your compassionate regard our brother/sister (insert name). Look mercifully upon their injury, ease their suffering, and grant them a swift recovery.
