Please join us in honoring Sister Eleanor Wartman as she steps down from Pastoral Ministry after 26 years at IHM! Sister Eleanor has been a blessing to IHM and has made such a positive impact in the lives of so many parishioners, school families and staff over the years of her service. We will miss the aura of peace, joy and light she brings when in one’s presence. She is an inspiration to us all. 

With gratitude, we will celebrate Sister Eleanor on Saturday, June 4 after the 4:30 pm Mass. We will miss her immensely, but wish her the best as she moves back to her Benedictine Monastery in St. Paul.

A personal note from Sister Eleanor: 

Dear Fr. John and Parishioners,
Twenty six years ago you invited me to be a part of your life at IHM. Every day has been a good day because prayer and work are a way of life for you. You have blessed me as together we’ve created a community that shows what love and care for each other looks like.
 
And now I am sad to tell you that I will leave IHM for health reasons. The pain in my right leg helped make that decision! It is difficult to get around, but more importantly I can no longer fulfill my commitment to serve you and the people of IHM.
 
I am getting ready to leave my apartment in Hopkins by mid June to live in our monastery in St. Paul with my 22 other Benedictine Sisters. The monastery is on our land with several other organizations that share our commitment of service to others, especially women and children.
 
Thank you for the privilege of living among you these many years and ministering with you. You have blessed me beyond measure and I will always cherish our friendship. I hold you in my heart and prayers every day.
 
I Love You!
 
Sister Eleanor

Mary is a good Mom! She wants us to know, love, and serve Jesus more. She wants us to get to Heaven even more than we do!

33 Days to Morning Glory is a retreat to help you
make your consecration to Mary. When we consecrate ourselves to Mary, we give Mary everything we are and do to present to the Lord and use at her disposal. Mary takes all the good things we do, adds her grace and presents us to her Son. When she presents us to Jesus, in all our littleness and with all our feeble efforts, He does not refuse her because she never refuses Him.

 
While our 33 Days to Morning Glory began the week of Monday, May 23 you can do an independent study retreat any time!  You can purchase your book online via the FORMED website.
