Congratulations to Stan & Rosie Miles, who were married at St. Mary’s Church in Bloomington and parishioners of St. Clement Parish , on their 75th Wedding Anniversary on June 10!

We were overjoyed to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Fr. Sudhakar Reddy Devarapu's Ordination to the Sacred Priesthood of Jesus Christ yesterday with a beautiful Mass, delicious food and lots of wonderful people. We are very grateful that Bishop Donald Hying, many priests, and lots of father's friends and parish members were able to join us for the day. A huge & hearty THANK YOU to Gary Mumm and crew for preparing the delicious chicken and to Melanie Mergen and all of the fantastic volunteers from the parishes who helped to set up, serve the meal and cleaned up afterward. Thank you to everyone who brought desserts. The food was fabulous!!! A very special thank you to Jane Patterson and the choir members from our parishes for the amazing music for the Mass. We are very grateful to everyone who helped with the Mass especially Deacon Roger Scholbrock and Bill Manthe and the servers. Thank you to Donna Bark, Kim Vogt, Cathy Martin and helpers for the lovely flowers and making the church look stunning for the Mass. It was an incredible celebration and truly there aren't enough words to thank everyone who made it possible. God bless.

Ss. Andrew-Thomas Parish sincerely THANKS Pat Reuter for her many years of service to the Tennyson and Potosi Churches. She has kept our facilities in an immaculate condition and has always been there to support all activities, including weddings, funerals, and other pastoral events. Pat has decided to retire from her cleaning position, and we are in search of a new volunteer to walk in her shoes. The position requires approximately 20-30 hours a month and pay is negotiable. If interested, please get in touch with Aleise Oyen 608-331-7305 or Shirley Straka 608-770-9504 for additional consideration.

St. Clement Parish would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Brad & Sara Bahl Family for their continued efforts for winter snow removal at St. Clement Cemetery.

Ss. Andrew-Thomas School is looking for volunteers to mow for this summer. Even if they just want to sign up for a couple days.

We are grateful for your continued support of Steubenville Youth Conference fundraiser of Car Wash Cards from Kwik Trip to offset a portion of the cost to attend ($435). Our teens and chaperones from our pastorate, St. Joseph the Worker, will cooperate with Divine Mercy Pastorate (St. Maria Goretti & St. Christopher Parishes) along with Richland Center parishes in La Crosse Diocese again this year. Pre-orders will be April 7 - 21 of 5-count (5 washes) Ultimate Car Wash cards for $35 each. You can pre-order from Katherine at the Parish Office, Katie Crosby or Joe/Kelly Ihm family. (If you need Car Wash cards before April 26th, Saint Clement School has them in stock to support St. Clement School Scrip Program.) Thank you for your generous support!

We are overjoyed that 43 Confirmadi from our pastorate were able to enjoy a retreat at Camp Gray on March 28-20 as they prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation this fall.

As we journey through Lent, it’s that time of year again where we anticipate the opportunity to remember our deceased loved ones through Easter memorial donations. The money collected will go toward Easter Flowers and decorating the churches for the Easter Season. Please turn in your donations by Saturday, April 12.

Thank you to those who helped out in any way during our recent host week for Family Promise at St. Clement. Whether you brought in food, helped with dinner serving, fellowship, overnights, etc., all of this means so much. The family could not be more thankful for the care and compassion shown to them. Thank you to the people from other churches in our pastorate for your support too. Together, we are living out the mission of caring for the needy in our midst.

After looking over St. Mary's Rectory roof and windows, St. Mary's Parish Council has decided to have the remaining 30 original 1949 rectory windows replaced this year. This project will cost approximately $51,000.00 and should be completed sometime later this summer or early fall. While there are some restricted maintenance funds that can be used toward the cost, St. Mary's Parish Council is hoping that generous people in our parish and pastorate will be able to help with this expense by making donations to ST. MARY'S RECTORY WINDOW PROJECT. Please contact St. Mary's Parish office at 608-994-2526 for more information.
