Introducing the Marshfield Deanery Catholic Men's Group. Our dynamic men's ministry is returning next month, with a new name and brand new content! Our Tuesday 6am meetings will resume on September 12th, in Dillenberg Hall in Our Lady of Peace Church basement. All men in the parish are encouraged to join us for a powerful, brand new program from That Man is You! entitled "The Unveiling of Love". Men who have attended all 4 prior years of TMIY, some of the prior meetings, or are completely new to the program will all find it interesting and powerful. Stay tuned for more details!"

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is beginning on September 7th, 2017 with full entrance into the church occurring at Easter of 2018. RCIA is the process whereby a person learns about the beautiful Catholic faith that we sometimes take for granted. Please pick up a brochure at the entrance of the church if you or someone you know is interested in becoming Catholic or if you just want to deepen your understanding of the faith. This will be an excellent way to grow closer to God by learning about Catholicism and how it promotes heroic goodness! For more information, contact Dcn. Jeff Austin at 715-676-3186 or Jane Gerend at 715-387-2019.
