GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
Children’s Worship Bulletins
In the back of church every week is the Children’s Worship bulletins which is focused on the readings from each Mass. It is a fun way to involve kids in worship. They are packed with Bible based activities. Parents are encouraged to have your child pick one up on their way into church and after the readings do the activities. The bulletins come in 2 different age groups.
New Leader of Prayer Class begins in July
Applications are now open for a new class of men and women who wish to serve as Leaders of Prayer for the Diocese of La Crosse. This is a three-part course of study by which lay persons are prepared and commissioned to serve their parishes by bringing Holy Communion to the sick; conducting a Liturgy of the Word on weekdays when a priest is unavailable (or on Sunday in care facilities or jails); and by leading parishioners in prayer at other times. Applicants must have completed the Lay Formation Institute and be sponsored by their pastor.

Seeking Cards for St. Gwen
If you were a student at St. Boniface in the 50's then you know of Sr. Gwen (then, Sr. de Maria). You loved her energy, skill and ability to play games and still teach you how to read, write and add during 1st and 2nd grade. She is celebrating her 75th year as a School Sister of St. Francis and they are asking you to remember her by sending her a card that lets her know she has not been forgotten.
She is amazingly well, active in her 90's, prays for her students, talks about Waumandee and still does some art work. The celebration (because of covid) will take place virtually, during May and she can receive cards any day. Her actual day of reception into the order was June 13, 1946.
