EASTER SUNDAY MASS
Everyone thought the Easter Bunny was an imaginary figure.
However, this past Easter Sunday he was our celebrant for the most
joyous Mass celebration we have had this year! With the music and
bell ringing by the children, everyone left happy and full of hope
because of our risen Lord.

The church Rectory can once again start taking Mass intentions for
dates after July 1.
Although we do not yet know the weekend Mass days or times after
July 1, we are allowed to take one intention per Mass. The cost is

Please contact the Parish office (920/293-4211) or stop by during
normal office hours on Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays from 9:00 AM
