Ten local Catholic and Lutheran churches are co-hosting a joint service to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. The celebration will be on Thursday - October 19 from 6:30 to 7:30 PM at St. John’s Catholic Church, 201 West Blodgett St., Marshfield. Hosting congregations and clergy are following the lead of Pope Francis and leaders of the Lutheran World Federation who, in October 2016, led a Service of Common Prayer in Lund, Sweden. Both the international and local services celebrate the common history and purpose that Catholics and Lutherans share.
All community members and visitors are invited to attend this once-in-a-lifetime event! One hundred percent of the service offering will be donated to the Marshfield Family Shelter. Led by combined clergy, there will a liturgy, hymns, special instrumental music, and an ecumenical choir directed by St. John’s Catholic Church Choir Director, Kris Herr. Any singer who attends at least one joint rehearsal is welcome to participate in the choir. Rehearsals will be at St. John’s Catholic Church at 6:30 PM on Wednesday October 11 and Tuesday October 17.
