The month of June we traveled to the communities of St. Francis, Rosebud, Spring Creek, and Parmelee! July 8-12, 2024 was our last week of Body, mind & soul camps for 2024 in the community of Mission.

In July we celebrated the Feast of St. Kateri Tekakwitha with our annual Mass celebration. The Mass has native drumming by our Native American parishioner, Stoney Cuthair.

The hustle and bustle of summer has begun. School is out for summer break– and with that, for some, kids/families schedules go from school activities to summer activities.
