The Minnesota Area celebrated the Feast of Saint John the Baptist at two locations.

First, on Friday, June 20th, an early celebration of the Feast was held with a Mass in honor of Saint John the Baptist at the Cathedral of Saint Paul, in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Father Mark Pavlak celebrated Mass at the statue of Saint John the Baptist in the Shrine of Nations at the Cathedral and members shared dinner together afterwards.

Next, on Tuesday, June 24th, members and volunteers in the northern part of the state celebrated our patronal feast at Saint Michael’s in Duluth, Minnesota, with Bishop Daniel Felton celebrating the Mass.
