"Jesus waits for us in this sacrament of love."

Encounter Jesus
The Pastoral Council will be meeting Tuesday, January 17, at 5:00 in Blanchardville. The Finance Council will be meeting Saturday, January 21, at 5:00 in Blanchardville. Parishioners may attend or may submit topics to parish representatives.
We are in need of two people to help count the weekly contributions. The commitment would be to work the third Tuesday of each month, starting Jan. 17. The counting takes place at Farmer's Savings Bank in Hollandale. Training will be provided.
Do you struggle to pray as a family, or have you ever wondered if other kids are as rambunctious as yours during family prayer time? Join the club! We are looking for families who would be interested in supporting other families as they seek to cultivate a habit of prayer. Our hope would be for you to do one of the following: organize a gathering for families to socialize and share tips for praying as a family; share a testimony at the end of Mass (or during Coffee & Donuts) about how family prayer has affected you and/or your children; promote a family Holy Hour (or whatever seems realistic); or propose any other ideas that come to mind! If you have a desire to support families in this way, please reach out so that we can begin a conversation about your gifts and how we can work together to equip families to grow in this important way. Contact the parish office or Amy Klarkowski at the Office of Marriage and Family for more information. Amy can be reached at [email protected].
