BIG NEWS: We’ve reached $83,000 toward our $100,000 goal for next school year!

We are so close, but we need your help to cross the finish line before April 30th!

Right now, every dollar you give is MATCHED, meaning your impact is doubled for our students and school community. That’s twice the support, twice the opportunity, and twice the difference.

No gift is too small—every single dollar moves us closer to the goal.

Let’s finish strong together! Join the challenge and be part of something meaningful: https://givebutter.com/CCSCampaign

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I am deeply grateful for your continued generosity and love for our parish. Your weekly offertory is not simply a financial contribution - it is an act of faith, a participation in the mission of the Church, and a concrete way you help us proclaim the Gospel and serve those in need.

As our parish continues to grow and respond to the needs of our community, our expenses have also increased. Rising costs for utilities, maintenance, insurance, staff support, and ministry resources affect us just as they do every household. To remain faithful stewards of our mission and to plan responsibly for the future, I am asking you to prayerfully consider increasing your weekly offertory, if you are able.

This invitation is not about equal giving, but about equal sacrifice. Even a small increase, when offered by many, can make a meaningful difference. Your generosity allows our parish to remain a place of vibrant worship, strong sacramental life, faith formation for our children and adults, and compassionate outreach to those most in need.

Please take time to pray about this request and ask the Lord how He may be calling you to support His Church. Above all, know that your presence, prayers, and commitment to our parish family are deeply valued.

Thank you for your faith, your generosity, and your love for our parish. May God bless you and your families abundantly.

In Christ,

Fr. Joe

OCIA

Our parish catechumens and candidates were sent to our diocesan cathedral on Sunday, February 22, to meet Bishop Tylka and to be accepted for Baptism, Profession of Faith in the Catholic Church, and Confirmation at the Easter Vigil. They are pictured here with their godparents and sponsors. The picture was taken this Sunday after the Rite of Sending at Holy Family’s 10 a.m. Mass.

We are a blessed community of faith. Continue to pray for each of our catechumens and candidates as they continue their journey of faith.

Front row left: Cody Mundy (Candidate for Profession of Faith), Jade Adams (Catechumen), Nicholas Everson (Catechumen), Jennifer Cunningham (Catechumen), Andrew Cunningham (Candidate for Confirmation.

Back row left: Michele Vermeire, Jordan Mundy (sponsors for Cody), John Hoblit (Sponsor for Jade),  Alex Hoblit (godparent for Jade), Lauren Everson (godparent for Nick), Maggie Knollenberg (godparent for Jennifer), Mike Cunningham (sponsor for Andrew).

 

And here we are at the Cathedral for the Rite of Election with Bishop Tylka. A moving experience of Church, belonging and acceptance!

We were excited to welcome to Father Paul Williams from Cross Catholic Outreach when he visited our All Saints Parish Churches. Fr. Paul spoke at each Church while he was with us. Cross Catholic Outreach was founded to mobilize the global Catholic Church to transform the poor and their communities materially and spiritually for the glory of Jesus Christ. It supports existing ministries by partnering with Catholic bishops, priests, religious brothers and sisters, and lay workers already serving the poor in over 30 countries around the world. To learn more about the ministry of Cross Catholic Outreach and its mission, please visit CrossCatholic.org/outreach. If you are in a position to help this ministry, thank you for your generosity.

 A library has been established at Holy Family Church! It is near the front entrance where the old baptistry and confessional were located. The room is still usable for confessions during COmmunal Reconciliation services. We are grateful to April Jensen who volunteered her library science skills to catalog and organize the books and media resources. Thank you, April!

Here is a list of all the books and DVDs April compiled https://bit.ly/HFLibrary.

The library will be open whenever the church is open. Please help yourself to books or DVDs and when finished, return them to the bin marked: Book Return. We will reshelve them. Enjoy finding a spiritual/religious book or DVD.

Religious book donations may be dropped off at the church rectory.
