Synod Implementation
2025-2026
Reclaiming the Lord’s Day
As we give focus to “Reclaiming Sundays,” we start with the importance of participating in Sunday Mass. Jesus Christ died so that we may have eternal life; God asks us to worship Him every Sunday (and Holy Day of Obligation) so that we can become the saints that He wants us to be. As Dr. Naughton of Catholic Studies at the University of St. Thomas likes to state, “If we don’t get Sundays right, we won’t get Mondays right.”
June Initiative – Screen-Free Sundays and Prayer
Pope Francis in his 2013 apostolic exhortation “The Joy of the Gospel” (Evangelii Gaudium) talks about one of the main challenges of modern life: “Sometimes we prove hard of heart and mind; we are forgetful, distracted and carried away by the limitless possibilities for consumption and distraction offered by contemporary society” (#196). Not only do smartphones distract, but so do streaming services like Hulu, Netflix and YouTubeTV. The focus this month is to create space in your family life to engage one another outside of the temptation to “binge” one show after another.
Activities for June:
One activity that is part of a liturgical celebration is to participate in the Corpus Christi procession on June 7th (after both the 8:30 and 10:30 a.m. Masses). Last year, the parishes restarted a long-standing Church tradition of doing an outdoor Eucharistic procession at the end of Corpus Christi Mass. Please pray for good weather! In the event of bad weather, the procession will either be shortened or canceled (due to the fact that the new liturgical rites require that a procession at this celebration goes outside).
Outdoor Gathering: Summers are typically pretty pleasant in Minnesota. Plan on either attending or hosting an outdoor gathering. St. Gregory’s is starting parish-wide monthly socials called “St. Greg’s Grill and Gather” during the summer on the following dates (starting at 6 p.m.): June 10th, July 8th, and August 5th.
If you have the ability to hold a bonfire, that can be a good and simple way to spend time with family and friends while getting a break from screens.
Archbishop Hebda’s Pastoral Letter to Families
Only One Thing is Necessary: How Catholic Families Can Strive to be United in This LIfe and the Next
Upcoming Events
Small Groups are here at
St Gregory the Great
Archbishop Hebda’s pastoral letter, You Will Be My Witnesses, sets forth a beautiful path for our Archdiocese: a way for every parish to be, as Pope Francis says, a “community of communities.” St. Gregory the Great parish is taking the next step on this path in Lent by launching small groups designed to: foster personal relationships, build community, and provide formation so we all may grow as joyful missionary disciples of Christ. Each Small Group will focus on the topic of Prayer throughout Lent and move towards other topics after Lent such as Eucharist, Gospels, and Saints
Be a part of this mission: join a Small Group! It’s not too late (nor will it ever be – these groups are ongoing) to sign up for one, so please contact the parish office if you would like to do so. 651-674-4056 or info@stgregorynb.org.
Fr. Matt’s Christian Resource Recommendations
We live in an age like none other, especially with regards to communications. For the faith, we have more resources than ever before. I would like to share my favorite ones with you in the hope that you would also benefit from them. As I discover other resources, I will share them on the parish website.
The Pope’s Prayer Intentions
Every year, the Holy Father entrusts twelve prayer intentions to the Church—one for each month—through the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network. This organization works to encourage Christians to respond to the Pope’s appeal and to deepen their daily prayer.
The Pope’s intentions reflect the deepest needs of our world and the mission of the Church. They are born from a global process of listening and discernment, and chosen by the Pope after his own time of prayer.
Here we will highlight the Pope’s monthly intentions for 2026. We invite you to pray with us and to help spread the mission. Share the intentions with your parish, family, and friends. May God hear our Holy Father’s intentions. This we pray, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
JUNE 2026 – For the values of sports.
Let us pray that sports be an instrument of peace, encounter, and dialogue among cultures and nations, and that they promote values such as respect, solidarity, and personal growth.
MAY 2026 – That everyone might have food.
Let us pray that everyone, from large producers to small consumers, be committed to avoid wasting food, and to ensure that everyone has access to quality food.
