Welcome to St. Gerard's Parish
WELCOME to St. Gerard Roman Catholic faith community.
We welcome all – young families to the most senior of seniors! Singles, married, divorced, widowed! All are welcome in this place!
Borrowing a thought of Charles Schultz [Peanuts creator], perhaps our theology/spirituality might be described in this way: the best theology is just to love one another!And to love one another as Jesus loved is to take care of one another, especially those most disadvantaged…the sick, the suffering, the poor, the excluded.
St. Gerard’s has been described as a contemporary faith community; a hospitable faith community; a very pastoral faith community.
If this is the kind of parish in which your faith would flourish and grow, come and join us.

Children's Sunday Liturgy
Two of the young adults of our parish are currently constructing a format for this ministry. Are you interested in being a part of this ministry? Is God inviting you to use your gifts and talents for faith formation for our children?
Our parish will be offering a Children’s Sunday Liturgy, beginning Sunday, October 21 at the 11 am mass, for children aged 4 to 8 years.
If you would like to become involved, please contact Doreen, pastoral associate, and you will be directed to the formation team.

SCAM
WARNINGIt has been brought to our attention and it has happened in our parish, that scammers are sending e-mails to parishes impersonating pastors whereby they request that iTunes gifts cards be purchased.The victim is told to go to a store, purchase an iTune gift card, load money onto it and then provide the 16-digit code on the back of the card. This can be done by phone, text or e-mail.
THIS IS A SCAM PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS.

A Stampede Breakfast Thank You
We served over 450 meals, and the feedback indicated that the food was very much enjoyed. Baked Beans, Flapjacks, and Meat – a true cowboy breakfast. Our entertainer, William, was superb....lively and fun!
St. Gerard Parishioners, thank you so very much for your generous help in making our annual Stampede Breakfast such a success; and thank you for attending, and bringing your family and friends. Freewill donations helped us to cover some of the costs, and that is appreciated by our ‘Number Crunchers’!!I won’t mention any other specific names because there were so many volunteers, and I would not want to miss anyone. Just know that every coordinator did such a fine job, and everyone worked so happily together. The only thing missing was the Sillybub Juice – maybe another year! And our pastor....we couldn’t easily find him in the crowd because he made such a fine cowpoke!
Let’s look forward to our next parish fun gathering; these events really build community and are good for the bonding of young and old. Anyone got some thoughts on a fun community event for the fall??And if anyone is considering coordinating Stampede Breakfast 2019, let me know. It is really a great experience.
Blessings on everyone - Doreen
