This January our parish youth ministry will be joining with the diocese to attend the annual March for Life in Washington D.C. This is the first time our parish will be participating in the pilgrimage and there is a group of 19 going. Please contact Kendra Mitchell at 715-246-4652 X247 for more information. This will qualify our council for one of the mandatory activities for the Columbian Award.
The NET retreat for the confirmation candidates are needing chaperones that for the retreat that will take place on January 12 and 13, 2019. They especially need adult males. Kim Palmer is reaching out to the Knights of Columbus for assistance. Please contact her at 715-246-4652 X228 or [email protected]. Terry could also use help with the food prep and cooking. Let Terry know if you can assist.
I am looking for someone that would be willing to submit candidates for Knight and Family of the month to the State and Supreme. This is a simple task. There is a form that needs to be completed before the 15th of each month and submitted. Please let me know if you would like to help out.
Attention KC members, spouses and family members!
There is a need within the parishes for additional ushers at all of the masses. There have been some procedural changes in the usher’s duties. If you or family members are interested please contact Ed Zimmerman at 715-821-6555 or email at [email protected].
