WISDOM OF THE POPE

If we wish to follow Christ closely, we cannot choose an easy,
quiet life. It will be a demanding life, but full of joy.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO PRAY FOR THE SICK

When someone is seriously ill or in the hospital, it is up to family
members to notify Fr. Grubba or the Parish Office, (920) 295-6209
or (920) 293-4211, and their names will be listed in the bulletin the
next week so that they may be remembered with prayers and
letters. This week I would ask that you remember…Shut-ins of the
parish.
