St. Peter & St. Paul News
Congratulations to Ethan Haehn son of Jason and Kristen Haehn who received the Annual Marvin Faber Scholarship Award. This scholarship is for service, leadership and academics. It was initiated in 1990 in memory of the late Marvin Faber, who was a firm believer of Christian education and who spent many years working with the children at Sts. Peter, Paul & Michael School now known as All Saints Academy.
Our Catholic Communities are extremely pleased to announce that through the generosity of the Catholic Foundation of the Diocese of St. Cloud, the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul have been bountifully blessed with donations though the Living the Promise Grant. Our Faith Formation program received $950 and All Saints Academy received $1,750. We are extremely grateful to the Catholic Foundation for bestowing such a wonderful gift upon our Communities.
The Catholic foundation is a non-profit organization that acquires, manages, and distributes financial gifts and bequests in service to the Catholic community and parishes of the Diocese of Saint Cloud. Please pray for those that serve on the board and the continued success of the Catholic Foundation.

St. Michael News
The pandemic has curtailed many events and one of those was a recital by our very gifted organist Lee Treml. We were so looking forward to his recital which was to be in April. He has informed me that this event will now take place at St. Thomas More Catholic Church in St. Paul on Saturday, July 18 at 7pm. Because social distancing will be observed, a reservation will have to be made through Friends of St. Thomas More Organ Recitals at signupgenius.com. Masks will be required. It has been such a joy to have Lee at St. Michael's and we wish him well in his new position at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in New Brighton. I hope many of you can attend.
