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

Ss. Andrew-Thomas needs volunteers to mow the school lawn this summer. If you would like to help out, we are hoping to get enough helpers so each person only needs to mow 3-4 times this mowing season. Please contact Amy at the school if interested: 608-763-2120.

We have been informed that some parishioners are receiving messages claiming to be from Fr. Steve Brunner requesting help or parish information. These messages are fraudulent. Please do not respond, do not send any parish information, and do not click any links in these messages. Fr. Steve will never contact parishioners in this manner for personal requests. If you have received one of these messages, please delete it.

If you are on the chain and wish to remain on the chain, if you are already on the chain and wish to be removed, or if you are not on the chain and wish to join - Please contact Aleise Oyen either by phone, text or email to let her know your wishes. She will need your name and your current phone number. You may contact her by phone or text at 608-331-7305 or by email at [email protected]. We hope to get a new list out by the end of April. Thank you!!

Fr. Dick Leffler is currently at Edenbrook Nursing Home, 1300 N Water St, Platteville, WI 53818. He is undergoing therapy to regain strength. Fr. Dick was the pastor of Ss. Andrew-Thomas Parish for 27 years and is part of all of our families. Please take a moment to say a prayer for him to regain his strength. It would be wonderful to do a Christmas card shower for him to show our love and support.

Have you ever felt like what you are doing or where you are at just isn’t really your destination in life? Could it be that you are not just called to a new job or a different apartment, but to a whole new life? Might religious life be the life for you? I am Sister Kathleen Murphy and that whole new life came to me when I became a Franciscan Sister of Christian Charity! It wasn’t a long journey from my farm home in the Diocese of Madison to our beautiful motherhouse in Manitowoc, and yet it was a chance to experience a God-given adventure. If you are up to enter on such a journey, visit my Community at https://fscc-calledtobe.org or even think about an in person stay with us here in Manitowoc, WI. As the Gospel urges, “Come and see!”

Hello! My name is Deacon Roger Scholbrock, and I’m a Permanent Deacon serving in the Diocese of Madison, currently assigned to the St. Joseph the Worker Pastorate. My wife, Wendy, and I have lived in the Potosi/Tennyson area for over 30 years, where we raised two daughters (now both married) and are blessed with one amazing grandson. After retiring from my previous career, I recently stepped into a new chapter as Pastoral Minister at St. Clement’s, following Bill Manthe’s retirement. It’s a big transition for me, and I sincerely appreciate your patience and support as I settle into this new role. For the past 40 years, I worked as a graphic designer, illustrator, museum and exhibit designer, and senior art director. Shifting into full-time ministry is certainly a major change—but one I’ve prayerfully hoped for over the years. I’ve often asked God to show me how I might use the gifts He’s given me in service to His people, and in His time, He answered. That’s what led me to retire from design and accept this new calling. I already have the pleasure of working alongside Leigh Boorn, our Director of Evangelization, across our pastorate communities. Together, we’re focused on offering prayer and outreach that helps individuals grow in their personal relationship with Christ Jesus. I’m truly excited to see how this ministry unfolds and how I can walk with you in your faith journey. I believe God is doing something beautiful in our parish, and together, we’re just beginning what promises to be a vibrant and faith-filled future. Pax, Deacon Roger
