SPIRITUS missionaries are young adults who give nine months of service to ignite the faith of our Catholic youth. They will be here on April 11 to share how they are inspiring the youth of our parish and parishes throughout Wisconsin. After their brief witness, they will invite parishioners to partner with their missionary efforts through prayer and financial support. We hope you will join in this vital mission of the church.
Please join us today, April 11, Divine Mercy Sunday, from 1:30 to 3:30 pm, as we celebrate the Great Mercy of God. Remember to bring your Divine Mercy images and other articles to be blessed.
Our 10th and 11th Graders will be receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation on Saturday, April 17, at 6pm. Let’s pray that the Holy Spirit gives them the increased ability to practice their Catholic faith in every aspect of their lives and to witness Christ in every situation.
Men of St. Joseph and St. Ann—The Knights of Columbus are sponsoring a Men’s Retreat in honor of St Joseph our Patron from 9:00AM to 12:00 noon April 24th .

*** Date Change to May !*** March 19th is the Feast of St. Joseph, in the “Year of St. Joseph,” as declared by Pope Francis. This significance along with the situation we find ourselves in today has prompted the need for a worldwide consecration to St. Joseph on Mar 19. To prepare for consecration, we recommend the book by Fr. Don Calloway, “Consecration to St. Joseph, The Wonders of Our Spiritual Father”. The 33 day preparation begins Feb 15 and requires about 20 minutes a day of reading and reflection with the consecration on Mar 19th. Go to StJosephNow.org to learn more. We have the books on order and expect them to arrive the week of Feb 7. If you would like to reserve one, please call or email the office at haystjoe@centurytel.net. We can consecrate ourselves anytime so if the books don’t arrive before Feb 12, we will plan for a different day or you can plan it on your own.
