IMMACULATE CONCEPTION EVENTS & ANNOUNCEMENTS
Cards for Sale
It’s that time of year when you start thinking of what kind of gift to give to a teacher, delivery driver, postman, neighbor, etc. Or just need a quick stocking stuffer. Remember the Knights are selling Kwik Trip Grocery and Gas Gift Cards. They have several different denominations available so you can quickly check off people on your gift list and know you will also be helping the Knights in all the good work they do.
Rosary before Mass
We will be saying the rosary before mass during the month of November for all the Poor Souls in Purgatory.
If you would like to lead the rosary during November in remembrance of your loved one(s), please let Rita Bechly know: rbechly@centurytel.net or 608-687-8180.

Please support Project Milk in this season of Thanksgiving and Advent
Help the Diocesan Rural Life Committee spread hope and joy by contributing to Project Milk. Founded in 1984 to help feed the poor children of Casa Hogar in Peru, Project Milk provides whole milk powder to the orphanage and the surrounding community. Each year the Rural Life Committee seeks to raise enough money to ship 40,000 lbs. of milk powder at an approximate cost of $80,000. One hundred percent of your monetary gift is used to feed these children and the poor.
To give, visit frjoesguild.org/donate, and select “Project Milk” as your designation
