Over spring break 9 students were able to serve and go on mission at our annual Belcourt Mission trip. While the students were in Belcourt, they were able to help paint the elementary school and do snow removal. Please join us in prayer for St. Ann's in Belcourt and their apostolate.

We were very excited to have the first stained glass window installed just in time for Easter! St. John Henry Newman and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton are the two patrons featured in the window, they are located in the SW corner of the Church. The rest of the windows are still being made and will be shipped later this year from Germany.
