You are invited to join faithful from across the diocese on Sat, Aug 9 at the Pablo Center in Eau Claire for a new opportunity to pause, reflect and renew our love of the gift of the Eucharist, as Jesus continues to give us His body and blood, strengthening us through life’s joy, sorrows and challenges.
The day’s events will include a river walk procession, Mass, engaging speakers, live music and Eucharistic adoration. Take this time to remember how much you need Jesus - and that He is Still the Answer for you, for your family, for your parish and for the world.
To learn more about the event and to register, visit diolc.org/still-the-answer.
Do you want free money for your church?
Any monies that go over our yearly goal will come directly back to the church as a rebate and will not be counted as income for next year’s quota.
The due date is Mon, Jun 30.
Please consider giving.
There are sheets in the back of the church if you would like to do automatic payments each month. That way, it doesn’t seem like such a big hit to the checkbook all at once.
If you need food assistance, we would like to direct you to C-FC Area Food Shelf located at St. John’s Church, 303 Hill St in Fountain City.
The hours are 1st and 3rd Mondays at 4:30-6:30pm and 2nd and 4th Wednesdays from 3:00-5:00pm.
Please see bulletin board for items needed for the CFC Food Shelf.
In April, 571 pounds of food were distributed to 28 people.
Every year we are honored to do something special for couples who are celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary. Each couple receives a packet and certificate, as well as an invitation to attend one of three celebrations that include Mass with the Bishop followed by a dinner. We use the information provided by your parish’s records to know where to send the packets and invitations.
We are preparing for the anniversaries happening in 2025 and would like to get a head start on the 2026 anniversaries as well.
Please contact your parish office to ensure your wedding date is listed in the parish’s records.
Registration is now open for the next two-year Lay Formation Institute cycle that begins in the fall of 2025. Deepen your knowledge of the Faith in a community of learners, catch the fire of the Holy Spirit, and let Him make you a contagious witness to Christ!

All three parishes are in need of the faithful who are willing to share their time and talent as Readers, Servers, Ushers, or Eucharistic Ministers.
There will be training or a refresher class available. Please contact Connie in the office.
If you are planning on getting married in 2026 or 2027, you will need to attend a marriage preparation program. We only offer one class a year in the Arcadia Deanery. If you are interested in attending, there are pamphlets on the bulletin board in back of church.
St. Lawrence and Immaculate Conception are looking for someone willing to play either the organ or the keyboard.
If you know someone able and willing, please let Connie in the office know.
The Vatican and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) have begun releasing materials about our new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, including official statements, photographs, and video content.
