Please remove all items that you want to keep before then.

Fr. Tom Gillespie will be celebrating Masses the weekend of October 22/23. We will be honoring him for his 50^th anniversary of ordination. In order to allow for this celebration to take place at St. Joe’s, the Mass schedule for that Sunday only will be switched. 8:15 Mass at St. Patrick’s, and 10:30 Mass at St. Joe’s. Please plan accordingly.

The black railing on the right of the front steps at St. Patrick’s church is in need of supporting at the top of the steps and at the bottom step for a solid hold into the cement. 

If anyone would be able to fix this, please call Jeff Johnsrud at 608-341-6917.

The religious education program is in need of substitute teachers.

Please contact Cathy Wiesbrook at 608-574-1344.

Into the Deep
Strategic Planning for the Diocese of Madison

As Bishop Hying has traveled throughout the diocese, he has come to realize that Catholics everywhere share the same spiritual hungers of the heart. And while he is convinced that God wants to meet these common spiritual hungers through His Church, the Church can only fully do so in parishes and schools which are equipped with excellent pastors, staff, and resources.

We believe that the Into the Deep strategic planning process will help us to achieve this vision of a brighter future and a more vibrant local Church, but this process will require the participation and engagement of every Catholic in the Diocese of Madison. We would love to have you walk with us.
