This is not a Holy Day of Obligation this year since it falls on a Saturday. The Solemnity of All Saints is celebrated on the first of November. It was instituted to honor all of the saints, both known and unknown, and, according to Pope Urban IV, to supply any deficiencies in the faithful's celebration of saints' feasts during the year.

All are invited to attend the Parish Breakfast Benefit for Ss. Andrew-Thomas School.

On Sundays in October through November 9 for 15 minutes after Mass, St. John’s CCW will hold a garage sale with Fall and Christmas decor including Christmas trees, chalk boards, electric roasters and roaster liners.

GRIEFSHARE AT ST.CLEMENT Grief after the death of a loved one can be overwhelming. One can experience a host of feelings, thoughts, behaviors and physical reactions that can make one question one’s own mental wellbeing. There is the notion that, “time heals all wounds.” This is untrue. Time can bring healing, but it’s often what we do during this time that brings about relief and renewed hope in the grief journey. It has also been said that, “grief shared is grief diminished.” All who have been involved in the GriefShare bereavement support group can attest to this truth. Through video, discussion and sharing, GriefShare is a 12-session process that brings people together who have experienced loss and who seek support that is confidential and who also seek healing in their unique journey. Our next GriefShare support group will begin on August 21 from 6-8 PM at St. Clement Church. To register on-line, go to: www.griefshare.org and choose “find a group.” You will see St. Clement listed. If our day/time are not the best for you, you will also see other offerings that may be a better fit. You can also contact Marcia Hampton at 608-732-8849 if you have questions or want to register.

Bishop Hying encourages all men of the diocese to this year's Men of Christ Conference, being held on Saturday, November 8 at St. Cecilia Church in Wisconsin Dells. This annual conference is always a wonderful opportunity for men to grow in fellowship, in holiness, and in their leadership within their families, parishes, and communities. This year's theme, "Heroes of Hope," will offer men the chance to reflect on the example of many great saints and how they inspire us to grow in virtue, especially in hope. Talks and break-outs will be done in English and in Spanish. More information and registration: menofchristmadison.com Heroes of Hope 5th Annual Men's Conference Saturday, November 8, 2025 On November 8, 2025, Catholic men from across the state of Wisconsin will gather at Saint Cecilia in Wisconsin Dells for the Men of Christ Madison Conference under the theme: “Heroes of Hope.” This year’s conference will reignite the masculine spirit by drawing from the heroic examples of Catholic saints who lived boldly for Christ—and challenge every man to follow in their footsteps. In an age of confusion and division, we are reminded that holiness is not reserved for the past; it is a call for today. Through dynamic preaching, powerful sacraments, and the brotherhood of fellow men in Christ, we will be strengthened to rise, rebuild, and reclaim our mission. We are honored to welcome Bishop Donald J. Hying, Fr. Tim Oudenhoven, and Kevin Matthews—faith-filled leaders whose presence will help awaken the courage, clarity, and hope needed for this apostolic age. Now is the time to become the saints our families, parishes, and culture so desperately need. This year’s Men of Christ Madison Conference is part of the Jubilee of Hope. We will gather at St. Cecilia in Wisconsin Dells—one of the designated pilgrimage sites for the Diocese of Madison—uniting men in prayer, fellowship, and renewal. Conference participants will encounter Christ through the Eucharist, confession, and inspiring talks. Within the Jubilee Year, these moments of grace carry even deeper meaning. As we walk this Jubilee together, we invite you to prepare spiritually: seek reconciliation, pray with the saints, and bring a friend or son with you. Together, we will celebrate the Jubilee of Hope and strengthen our brotherhood in Christ.
