ST. MARY'S GOLF OUTING ON JULY 26 Planning is underway for St. Mary's Annual Golf Outing on Sunday, July 26. We are very grateful to Mrs. Kelly Copsey, St. Mary's School Principal, for organizing this event. She is seeking volunteers to help with the Golf Outing, especially on July 26. Please contact her at (608-732-2572) or [email protected] for more information.

We are looking to offer inner healing sessions to parishioners. Please contact Leigh Boorn at 309-370-6036 or [email protected].

We are canning beef on Saturday, May 30 at 9:00 a.m. at St. Charles' School Kitchen. Anyone free to wash jars, cut up beef or stuff jars, please join us. Thanks so much.

Our next host week at St. Clement begins on Sunday, May 31. While that seems far away, it will be here soon. We continue to seek to expand our pool of volunteers for this important outreach to families with children experiencing homelessness. Recently, some member churches of the LAC have committed to help us and the Lancaster United Methodist Church during our host weeks. We also have a few people who assist us from Ss. Andrew-Thomas, and one person from Fennimore. But we do hope that others from our pastorate will join us in our work to support families experiencing a very difficult time for them and their children as they seek housing. To get involved or for more information contact Bill Manthe at 723-4913 or Peg Jonas at 723-2051.
