Prayer From
Pope FrancisO Mary, you shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope.
We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick. At the foot of the Cross you participated in Jesus’ pain, with steadfast faith.
You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need.
We are certain that you will provide, so that, as you did at Cana of Galilee, joy and feasting might return after this moment of trial.
Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform ourselves to the Father’s will and to do what Jesus tells us.
He who took our sufferings upon Himself, and bore our sorrows to bring us, through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection. Amen.
We seek refuge under your
protection, O Holy Mother of
God. Do not despise our pleas
– we who are put to the test –
and deliver us from every
danger, O glorious and
blessed Virgin.

SPECIAL LENT CONFESSION TIMES
Monday April 6th - 5pm-7pm
Wednesday April 8th - 5pm - 7pm
Dear Parishioners,You have been in my heart as I have been praying the Mass these past few weeks. I think of you often, and I have been praying you have been able to allow God to draw nearer to you in this time of social-distancing and safer-at-home orders. The parish staff and I continue to be dedicated to our mission of bringing all souls to the Kingdom of God, though, how we go about that has required a bit of creativity on our parts.
I've been able to witness this creativity first hand. Several of our parishioners, on their own initiative, decided to do something that would bring a little light to the community. They left a box with chalk at the parish office doors and invited people to join them in writing uplifting messages on the sidewalk, including pictures and Bible verses. I love when people are able to seize on an idea and make it happen! As the weather gets warmer, hopefully more people will be able to see it in person.
On to some practical concerns: As a parish, we have been fielding a number of different questions. I understand that nothing about this situation is ideal, and I hope that you can all see that every decision that is made is because of a desire to keep people safe. We are concerned, not just for ourselves, but for those who are vulnerable to this virus. They are first and foremost in our thoughts and prayers.
Holy Communion will only be brought to people who are close to dying (Viaticum). For the sake of safety, at this time, we are not making house calls. If for some reason you are unable to come to church for the regularly scheduled confessions times, or feel uncomfortable coming to Church, I can make a visit and hear your confession outside your house through a window. I will happily do this!
As we draw nearer to Holy Week, people have asked about palms. As a policy, the Diocese of Green Bay has directed parishes to not provide palms for parishioners, as to not create an "event" where people congregate together. Palms may be provided at a later time when this is all over.
I have been trying to find ways to connect digitally to our parishioners. I have created a Youtube channel. I am listed as "Fr. Matthew Rappl." I have been posting some Gospel reflections, my own thoughts, and some prayers. Please stay connected this way. Facebook is also an excellent way to stay connected. Our parish Facebook page is regularly updated. If you don't have a Facebook, you may ask a young'n to help set you up!
For Palm Sunday liturgy, I will be celebrating and preaching at St. Raphael the Archangel Parish in Oshkosh. Mass will be livestreamed from Facebook at 9:00am. You are welcome to pray with me! I will also be joining St. Raphael for Holy Thursday (7:00pm), Good Friday (1pm), Easter Vigil (8:15pm), and Easter Sunday morning (9:00pm). All of these services will be livestreamed from Facebook. I encourage you to join me in prayer!
None of this ministry would be possible without the prayerful support of our parishioners and their sacrificial giving. You may mail in your contribution envelopes, or you may donate online at the parish website. Also, forms for electronic funds transfer are available by email through the parish office. We are in great need of your generous support at this time! If you have any questions, please call the parish office.
Gratefully,
Fr. Matthew -

Awareity Incident REporting
The Diocese of Green Bay Office of Safe Environment has implemented a
web-based incident reporting tool called Awareity. Awareity is a comprehensive platform for reporting,
tracking, and documenting incidents and concerns. Awareity empowers program leaders, staff,
neighbors, visitors, and all other community members to be heard and to safely report warning signs
and trouble. The goal of Awareity is prevention and to help identify red flags and warning signs before
an incident occurs or escalates. Should you have an incident you want to report, click on the link below and then click on the green butterfly.
