12th Sunday in Ordinary Time
“He asked them, ‘Why are you terrified?
Do you not yet have faith?’” - Mark 4:40
Greetings in Christ,
My name is Deacon John Utecht and I am a seminarian in Fourth Theology at the Saint Paul Seminary in
Saint Paul. I grew up in St. Paul and Hastings, Minnesota, with my Mom and Dad, Margaret and Joe, and
my three sisters and one brother. I have always enjoyed any kind of outdoor activities like hunting, fishing,
rock climbing, golf, and playing sports. One of my favorite activities is camping in the Boundary Waters.
My home parish is St. Elizabeth Ann Seton and it was there that I first encountered God and his great love
and mercy. After graduating from Hastings High School, I served with a missionary organization called NET
ministries. It was while serving on NET where I learned to pray and grew a lot in my relationship with the
Lord, to the point where I felt that God was calling me to make my life one of service as a priest. I was very
reluctant to enter seminary at first, but slowly and through lots of prayer I began to see my call as a gift.
My time in seminary has been very blessed with lots of opportunities to pray, study, and grow in pastoral
experience. I have especially grown in pastoral experience by spending time teaching, praying, and
learning at my teaching parish, St. Michael’s in St. Michael, MN. I am now going into my eighth and final
year of seminary and with only a year before I am ordained a priest, I can’t wait to receive that gift of
priesthood. I'm looking forward to meeting and serving you all at Our Lady of the Lake this summer.
Christ’s Peace,
Deacon John Utecht
Thank you, Jan & Keith Clark and Kathy & Keith Putt,
for tending to the plants and flowers in the Church
Sanctuary and the PACE Center every week.
The plants and flowers are beautiful and add
so much to the environment. Also, thank you for
taking care of the Vigil Candles each week too.
We appreciate your dedication
to these volunteer positions!

FAITH FORMATION and Y o u t h M i n i s t r y
VBS at OLL this Summer!!
July 19th - 23rd
We are very excited to offer
Totus Tuus for our Vacation
Bible School this summer!
Totus Tuus, which means
“Totally Yours” in Latin, is a fun
& energetic summer catechetical
program, for both grade-school
age kids and Junior & Senior
High School youth. Trained
college students & seminarians
visit various parishes to spread
the Good News. Their youthfulness
and ability to witness to the
faith makes these teachers
particularly effective with young
people. Register by June 30th to
secure your spot and receive a
free T-shirt. Registrations can
be found on the front page of
the OLL website and under the
Faith Formation tab at
ourladyofthelake.com.
“I remember you and pray for you with JOY.” -Philippians 1:3
I would like to send out a special thank you and recognition to eight amazing catechists who selflessly
took on the challenge of teaching elementary faith formation during a year of changes and unknowns!
Despite the limitations due to COVID, and learning new curriculum, they rose to the need of continuing
to bring the truth of Christ to our children in fun, creative ways. With a year of learning new things
under our belt, I can’t wait to see the amazing things to come next year!
In Christ, Laurie Herder, Family & Faith Formation Coordinator

Good Counsel Scholarship will be awarded to a current post-secondary student who will
be continuing her education next year. Both online application forms with additional

Discipleship … Faith In Action
“He asked them, ‘Why are you terrified? Do you not yet have faith?’” – Mark 4:40
Do you really trust God? Is God your first choice or last resort? Is your faith something you just do on
Sunday or do you live the Gospel message every day of the week? Many of us know about God.
How many of us have a personal relationship with Him? Start now, open your heart to receive our Lord.
Talk and listen to Him throughout the day, in all circumstances.

RE: Returning to Mass: July 1 Marks End of Dispensation in Minnesota
Page 2 of 2
1. You have reason to believe your health would be significantly compromised if you were to contract a
communicable illness (i.e., you have underlying conditions or are in a high-risk category).
2. You exhibit flu-like symptoms.
3. You have good reason to think you might be asymptomatic of a contagious illness (e.g., you were in
recent contact with someone who tested positive for a contagious illness such as COVID or influenza).
4. You care for the sick, homebound, or infirmed.
5. You are pregnant or you are 65 years of age or older (per the CDC’s recommendation for high-risk
individuals).
6. You cannot attend Mass through no fault of your own (e.g., no Mass is offered; you are infirm; or, while
wanting to go, you are prevented for some reason you cannot control, such as your ride did not show up).
7. You have significant fear or anxiety of becoming ill by being at Mass.
If situations 1 through 3 apply to you, prudent concern for your neighbor should lead you to stay home. If you fall
within situations 4-7, please exercise good judgment, consider the common good, and know you would not be held
to the obligation of attending Mass. For further questions about the application of any of these situations, please
contact your pastor. These categories will be reviewed in due course and revised as needed.
Those within the categories enumerated above must still observe the Lord’s Day and are encouraged to spend time
in prayer on Sunday, meditating on the Lord’s passion, death, and resurrection; an excellent way to do this is by
praying the Liturgy of the Hours and participating in a broadcast/livestream of the Sunday Mass.
More information, answers to frequently asked questions, and a portal to each diocese’s protocols can be found at
the website backtomassmn.org.
The return of our faith family to Mass is a joyous occasion. With that in mind, we also encourage the faithful to
post on social media about their return-to-Mass worship experiences using the hashtag #backtomassmn. Wherever
you may be, welcome home!
