FREE MEDICATION LOCK BOXES, GUN LOCKS, &
REFRIGERATOR LOCKS
Marquette County Healthy Communities Healthy Youth coalition
(HCHY) is working with several Marquette County area pastors on a
“Safe and Secure” campaign. This would offer FREE locks to
interested congregation members and people they may know.
Three kinds of locks are available:
1. Gun – to keep children and others from accidentally
discharging weapons.
2. Fridge – for locking the second fridge in garage or
basement often used to store alcohol; this helps keep
underage family members or friends from pilfering.
3. Medication Lock Box – to keep from children,
grandchildren, in-home workers or possible theft. These
locks cost $10 - $25 each; so getting them free is nice.
For more information or to get involved, phone (608) 297-3135, or
visit their Website at: www.marquetteHCHY.org
THE DISCIPLE MAKER INDEX SURVEY
(SPONSORED BY THE DIOCESE OF MADISON)
PLEASE READ AND HELP!
Please help us by participating in completing a 10-15 minute
Disciple Maker Index Survey (sponsored by the Diocese) as
soon as possible (all parishioners 16 years and older are asked
to fill out this survey).
• To complete the survey online, go to
https://portal.catholicleaders.org/d/kb3dg2
• There are also opportunities to complete the survey after
Saturday and Sunday Masses. Pick up a preprinted paper
copy of the survey on the table at the entrance of the
church, or you can obtain a preprinted paper copy in the
parish office by contacting the parish office at
(920) 293-4211 (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from
9:00 AM – 11:00 AM).
• The survey will only be available from October 14 to
November 22, 2021 and will ask you to reflect on your own
spiritual growth and enable you to provide feedback on our
parish’s efforts to help you grow. All responses will be
confidential and the parish will only receive information
about the community as whole.
• We are trying to get the highest response rate possible.
This information will be invaluable to Father Grubba and our
various ministries as we plan for the future and strive to be
the best disciples we can be. We will receive the results this
spring/summer at which time we will share what we have
learned with the entire parish. Thank you for helping with
this important project!
