Circle of Women & Little Lights Preschool invite you to join us for a special night out filled with music, food, and fellowship:
SISTER
Friday, January 26
7:00 p.m.
St. Joseph Hall
Sister is a family of three real sisters in the Minneapolis area. Kjersten, Kara, and Alisa have been performing together since they were kids in southern Minnesota. Although they have an extensive and rich repertoire, they are best known for their original music featuring a work called "Child" which they performed at St. John's in October of 2003.
Sister presents "Child" and a bounty of other works all over the Upper Midwest. Thousands have experienced their sound and have been moved by their music. They have been featured on KARE-11 TV News, FM 107 Radio, and have headlined stages for the Salvation Army and many other events. They have been a part of regional fundraisers for the Mayo Clinic and the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
Sister will premiere NEW music in their concert at St. John's, featuring a collection of music and poetry that will encourage and empower all of us to fulfill our vocation and bring our dreams into the world. You will laugh, cry, and be completely entertained as you engage in this life-giving event.
Tickets are only $15.00/person at the door, which includes dessert and beverages. If you fill a table of eight, you will receive a discount -- $12.50/person.

MOST HOLY TRINITY: Our Father in Heaven, who chose Mary as the fairest of Your daughters; Holy Spirit, who chose Mary as Your Spouse; God the Son, who chose Mary as Your Mother; in union with Mary, we adore Your majesty and acknowledge Your supremacy, eternal dominion, and authority.
MOST HOLY TRINITY: We put the United States of America into the hands of Mary Immaculate in order that she may present the country to You. Through her, we wish to thank You for the great resources of this land and for the freedom which has been its heritage. Through the intercession of Mary, have mercy on the Catholic Church in America. Grant us peace. Have mercy on our president and on all the officers of our government. Grant us a fruitful economy born of justice and charity. Have mercy on capital and industry and labor. Protect the family life of the nation. Guard the precious gift of many religious vocations. Through the intercession of Our Mother, have mercy on the sick, the poor, the tempted; we are sinners in need.
MARY: Immaculate Virgin, Our Mother, Patroness of Our Land, we praise you and honor you and give our country and ourselves to your Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart. O Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, pierced by the sword of sorrow prophesized by Simeon, save us from degeneration, disaster, and war. Protect us from all harm. O Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, you who bore the sufferings of your Son in the depths of your heart, be our Advocate. Pray for us, that acting always according to your will and the Will of your Divine Son, we may live and die pleasing to God. Amen.
