Third Order Servants of Mary – www.secularservites.org Bob and Mary Ornberg, 715-699-1287 or rornberg71@gmail.com
Ah, to be a child of Mary! The Invitation is freely given by God to unite in prayer and service with her maternal presence as a member of OSSM. As a community of lay persons, we are moved by the Spirit to live the Charism of compassionate service to others in the footprints of Mary, Mother and Servant of the Lord. We are guided by The Rule and rich heritage of Marian service, tradition, and prayer to live our Baptismal consecration according to the Word of God, as He speaks to us in our own everyday living. The Ideal is to reach perfection in following Christ, and so we deepen our knowledge of Mary, the Virgin of Sorrows, and her place in the mystery of salvation. And we celebrate The Bond, as the first Christians did, by meeting together to further our knowledge and strengthen each other in loving service to all.

We gather monthly on the third Sunday for a lunch at noon and meet from 1:30 in the Parish Center for business and formation. Both men and women, at least 21 years of age are invited.

Seven Sisters – Donna DiSera, 715-462-4404 or dbdisera@yahoo.com
The Seven Sisters is a prayer oriented apostolate consisting of seven women who commit to offering a Holy Hour once a week solely for the needs and holiness of the pastor (or a bishop, retired priest, etc.), thus ensuring that a Holy Hour of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament is offered each day of the year for that priest. The commitment is for one year (June to June). Substitutes are involved in this program should one of the “sisters” be unable to fulfill her weekly Holy Hour.(back to top of page)
Every Friday at 11 AM in St. Joseph’s Divine Mercy Adoration Chapel, a Holy Hour of prayer is offered including Eucharistic adoration, traditional Marian prayers, prayers of intercession, a reading from the messages of Medjugorje and other devotional prayers. Everyone is welcome.

Adoration Chapel - Rosalie Bender, 715-634-4331 or rbobhill48@gmail.com
Eucharistic Adoration is a special quiet time of prayer and reflection; a time to get away from the bustling activities of the day and spend some silent time with our Savior. The Adoration Committee oversees all the aspects of the Divine Mercy Chapel. They are responsible for the recruitment and orientation of adorers who are new to the Adoration program. They help to arrange the scheduling of adorers and assist with any special activities that take place in the Chapel. The committee meets 4 times a year, or as often as activities and planning are needed. If interested in serving in this capacity please contact a committee member.
