Calling all couples who are celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary in 2025 or 2026

Every year we are honored to do something special for couples who are celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary. Each couple receives a packet and certificate, as well as an invitation to attend one of three celebrations that include Mass with the Bishop followed by a dinner. We use the information provided by your parish’s records to know where to send the packets and invitations.

We are preparing for the anniversaries happening in 2025 and would like to get a head start on the 2026 anniversaries as well.

Please contact your parish office to ensure your wedding date is listed in the parish’s records.

Elementary Religious Education Teacher Needed

We are in need of an elementary religious education teacher. They can either teach 3 & 4 grade or 5 & 6 grade. We have to have faith formation for our youth to help preserve and maintain our faith. Look into yourself and share your faith with the young minds of our parish. It would be each Wednesday, during the school year, from 4:00-5:00pm.

Give Carrie Venner Adams a call at 608-687-3228 or email her at treeclesiae.red@gmail.com. Or contact Connie in the office. We can not have religious education classes without our wonderful volunteers.

Eucharistic Adoration

Every week all three parishes will have Eucharistic Adoration.

St. Boniface—Tue, 4:30-5:30pm
St. Lawrence—Thu, 7:00-8:00am
Immaculate Conception—Fri, 7:00-8:00am.

Help Needed Liturgical Ministries

All three parishes are in need of the faithful who are willing to share their time and talent as Readers, Servers, Ushers, or Eucharistic Ministers.

There will be training or a refresher class available. Please contact Connie in the office.

Help Those Afflicted by the Tragic Flooding in Texas

Catholic Charities is rushing assistance to those devastated by the recent catastrophic flooding in Texas, as the death toll continues to climb and whole communities are displaced. Please consider donating – visit www.cclse.org and click on the “Texas Flooding” link. And please hold in your prayers the souls of those who lost their lives, their grieving families and loved ones, and all who are suffering as a result of this tragic disaster.

Jubilee 2025 "Pilgrims of Hope"

A meaningful way to participate in the Jubilee Year of Hope is by making a pilgrimage, which is different from a vacation. A pilgrimage is to a sacred place and involves stepping out of the normal routine with the goal of coming closer to God. Making a pilgrimage reminds us that in our everyday lives we are pilgrims on a journey to heaven, and therefore, our desire is to grow in our relationship with Jesus Christ with whom we hope to spend eternity.
