Thanks for the memories! Please join me in thanking God for the generous service offered by both Father Maria Dass and Father Kuhn. As announced last weekend, Fr. Maria Dass is moving to La Crosse on May 15th to begin his work at Mayo Franciscan hospital. He’ll move to St. Mary’s in Viroqua and serve the people there as well as the folks in Coon Valley with his Capuchin brother, Father Joseph. Our beloved Father Kuhn is moving to St. Anne’s in Wausau on June 30th where he’ll serve for the next two years. He will be the chaplain at both Newman High School and Newman Middle School – for Columbus fans, this probably stings, as there’s no love for Newman in these parts! We are all better people for having known Fr. Kuhn and he’ll be sorely missed, even in the rectory. And lastly, please pray for our new associate priest, soon-to-be Father Daniel Sedlacek. I’ll give you more information about our new associate in the upcoming weeks. He’ll be ordained a priest in La Crosse on June 25th, so let’s storm Heaven for him with our sincere prayers!
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) is beginning on September 8th, 2016 with full entrance into the church occurring at Easter of 2017. 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.
Women at the Well is a lay apostolate whose mission is to provide direction, hope and healing to women whose lives have taken a turn for reasons they may or may not understand and who, as a result, are experiencing emotional and/or spiritual distress. The goals of the ministry are to support women who are suffering by applying biblical and ecclesial principles to their lives and their situations through prayer and individual work with reliance on the Holy Spirit. It is not professional therapy, but an opportunity to "drink from" rather than "jump in". All sessions and inquiries are 100% confidential.
We will meet at 6:30pm in St. Francis Hall on May 19th. Questions? Call Judy at 715-305-2261.
