A Message From Father Lucho
Dear Pelican Valley ACC,

This Sunday, our Diocese of Saint Cloud joyfully celebrates the feast of our patron saint, Saint Cloud, born in 522, son of Clovis, King of the Franks, in present-day France. After his father's death, his uncles attempted to seize the throne, slew his brothers and attempted to take his life. Miraculously, he escaped to Reims, where he lived in the episcopal house of the Bishop of Reims, Remigius, where he learned to love charity and wisdom. He returned to Paris and, cutting off his beautiful, long royal hair, renounced the throne to live, as a hermit in the woods along the river opposite Paris. He sought to do the Lord's will, but was unable to find the solitude he longed for. The people of the area sought him out for his wisdom; the parishioners of a small fishing village came to him and asked him to be their parish priest. He accepted and was ordained by the Bishop of Paris. He served until his death in 560. He is buried in the small village church, now called "Saint Cloud" in honor of their beloved pastor.


What a great example Saint Cloud sets for us in discipleship, radically following Jesus, renouncing everything and doing God's will here and now in our Pelican Valley and in our diocese that bears his name! May Saint Cloud intercede for all of us who embark on the "All Things New" plan, led by the All Things New Committee, to continue building the Kingdom of God with vibrant communities journeying as pilgrims of hope.

Estimado ACC de Pelican Valley:

Este domingo, nuestra Diócesis de Saint Cloud celebra con alegría la festividad de nuestro santo patrón, San Cloud, nacido en 522, hijo de Clodoveo, rey de los francos, en la actual Francia. Tras la muerte de su padre, sus tíos intentaron apoderarse del trono, asesinaron a sus hermanos e intentaron quitarle la vida. Milagrosamente, escapó a Reims, donde vivió en la casa episcopal del obispo de Reims, Remigio, donde aprendió a amar la caridad y la sabiduría. Regresó a París y, tras cortarse su hermosa y larga cabellera real, renunció al trono para vivir, como nosotros, como ermitaño en los bosques junto al río frente a París. Buscó hacer la voluntad del Señor, pero no pudo encontrar la soledad que anhelaba. Los habitantes de la zona lo buscaban por su sabiduría; los feligreses de un pequeño pueblo pesquero acudieron a él y le pidieron que fuera su párroco. Aceptó y fue ordenado por el obispo de París. Sirvió hasta su muerte en el año 560. Está enterrado en la pequeña iglesia del pueblo, ahora llamada "Saint Cloud" en honor a su amado pastor.


¡Qué gran ejemplo nos da Saint Cloud en discipulado, siguiendo radicalmente a Jesús, renunciando a todo y haciendo la voluntad de Dios aquí y ahora en nuestro valle de Pelican Valley y en nuestra diócesis que lleva su nombre! Que Saint Cloud interceda por todos los que emprendemos el plan "Todas las Cosas Nuevas", liderado por el Comité "Todas las Cosas Nuevas", para seguir construyendo el Reino de Dios con comunidades vibrantes que caminan como peregrinos de esperanza.

  • About

    I am 16 years old, I live in Pelican Rapids, and I’m currently in 11th grade. Since I was very young, I’ve been involved in the Church, and today I have the blessing of serving as a psalmist and parish assistant at St. Leonard’s Parish.


    Serving God and my community is an honor that fills me with joy. I’m excited to continue growing in faith and giving my best on this new path.
