Pelican Valley ACC

All are Welcome

Welcome

In 2019, the Diocese of St. Cloud combined the three parishes of Church of Our Lady of Victory, St. Leonard Parish and St. Elizabeth’s Parish into an Area Catholic Community. As the Body of Christ, we come together and are known as the “Pelican Valley Area Catholic Community”


YOU are invited – All are Welcome!! Pelican Valley Area Catholic Community’s faith family looks forward to dining regularly with you at the Lord’s table. The Venerable Fulton Sheen shares his wisdom: “He seeks us before we dream of seeking him; he knocks before we invite him in; he loves us before we respond.”


Our Pastor, Father Alan Wielinski, recognizes each of our parishes has its own identity; however, together we work for the common good of our ACC through our mission.

A Message From Father Alan
Dear Members of the Pelican Valley ACC,

Consecration Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus


O Most Sacred Heart of Jesus: 

You know the longings of our hearts, and you desire that we enjoy friendship with you. 

From your pierced side, you have poured out the wellspring of life, for which we thirst. 

Your heart burns with a love for all people to return to a right relationship with you. 

We celebrate the abundant gifts you have given this nation, founded on the self-evident truths that our Creator has endowed all people with the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. 

We make reparation for the offenses against you and against human dignity that have taken place in this nation. 

May our hearts be united to yours, so that our families and communities enjoy peace and happiness; may broken relationships be reconciled, injustices repaired, and the wounds of our land be healed. 

May your holy Catholic Church serve as a sign, pointing all people to your infinite love. 

O Desire of Nations and Center of History, we ask you to bless these United States of America. 

Who live and reign with God the Father 

in the unity of the Holy Spirit, 

God, for ever and ever. Amen.


Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us! 

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us!

Estimados miembros del ACC de Pelican Valley:

Oración de consagración al Sagrado Corazón de Jesús


Sagrado Corazón de Jesús: 

Tú conoces los anhelos de nuestro corazón y deseas que disfrutemos de tu amistad. 

De tu costado traspasado has derramado el manantial de vida, del que tenemos sed. 

Tu corazón arde de amor para que todas las personas vuelvan a tener una relación correcta contigo. 

Celebramos los abundantes dones que has brindado a esta nación, fundada en las verdades evidentes que nuestro Creador ha dotado a todas las personas del derecho a la vida, a la libertad y a la búsqueda de la felicidad. 

Ofrecemos reparación por las ofensas contra ti y contra la dignidad humana ocurridas en esta nación. 

Que nuestros corazones se unan al tuyo, para que nuestras familias y comunidades gocen de paz y felicidad; que las relaciones dañadas se reconcilien, las injusticias se reparen y las heridas de nuestra tierra se sanen. 

Que tu santa Iglesia católica sirva de signo, mostrando a todos tu amor infinito. 

A ti, que eres el Deseo de las Naciones y el Centro de la Historia, te pedimos que bendigas a estos Estados Unidos de América. 

Tú que vives y reinas con Dios Padre 

en la unidad del Espíritu Santo, 

Dios, por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.


Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, ¡ten piedad de nosotros! 

Inmaculado Corazón de María, ¡ruega por nosotros!
