Sentiments for Seminarians Drive

Knights of Columbus Solomon Juneau Council are sponsoring an effort to support the Knights of Columbus of Wisconsin for the Annual “Sentiments for Seminarians Drive.” It’s an easy way to give a show of support to our seminarians, future priests and religious novices with simple gestures of appreciation during the holiday season. Please consider making a donation to this cause to support those who have devoted their lives to the service of others with their religious lives. To make a donation please contact the Parish Office.

We Would Like to Thank Marie Senzig

for her generous donation that she left the parish after her passing. She continues to remain in our thoughts and prayers.

With Deepest Sympathies

that we inform you that Lawrence ‘Larry’ Hadac passed away on December 3rd. Our prayers are with the family through this difficult time.

Word Among Us

There is a sign-up sheet in the back of Church for Word Among Us [Daily Readings & Reflections for 2025]. The Knights of Columbus are sponsoring the Word Among Us for the 2025 year, but to ensure a more accurate count for ordering we ask that you add your name to the sign-up sheet in the back of Church.
