CATHOLIC SERVICES APPEAL The 2024/2025 Catholic Services Appeal was conducted in our parish the weekend, SEPTEMBER 14TH & 15TH. We must remember that we are one with the other churches in northern Wisconsin and with our diocese itself. The appeal is a means by which we can all work together to love and care for the church by sharing gifts God has given to us. No Catholic parish our diocese can exist on its own without the CSA. This year, our goal is $65,299.84. Please join other Catholics from within the 16 counties of the diocese in supporting this very important appeal.
SOCIETY OF ST. VINCENT dePAUL Members of the society will speak following all Masses this weekend to explain their work in our community. Thank you for your kind attention.
