“What happens to a nation when violence no longer shocks us?” Follow this link to view a 3-minute audio reflection by the President of the USCCB, Archbishop Timothy Broglio. He addresses the epidemic of violence we have been witnessing, and proposes a solution rooted in our faith in Jesus Christ and the recognition of the sacred dignity of every member of the human family, no matter our disagreements.
The Mauston Community Sharing Pantry
serves people in the Mauston school district. It is open for food distribution on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9:30-11:00. St. Mary’s Parish has joined as a church partner. We are seeking a volunteer or two to help there on Tuesdays with food distribution, etc. Preferably at least twice a month.(Deacon Tom and Sandy are helping on Wednesdays) If anyone has questions, please feel free to reach out to Natty or Deacon Tom.
St. Mary’s Kid’s Corner: This week we are looking at what the 4th and 5th graders have been studying with Ms. Hauck! Two weeks ago they crafted ‘stained glass’ lanterns and learned how Jesus is the Light of the World. They also talked about everyday ways we can share that light – through kindness, helping hands, and welcoming hearts. Next week we’ll see what the 2nd and 3rd graders are up to with Ms. Erickson, so stay tuned!
