Praying Book Club
What makes it possible for seeds to grow? If soil conditions are right with moisture & sunlight, seeds will sprout. What are the right conditions for spiritual growth? Prayer, persistence, and patience. Ponder the following: How would you describe your relationship with God? Do you pray? Why, how, where and how often do you pray? Prayer is a life changing conversation with God. "Prayer is both a gift of grace and a determined response on our part" (CCC 2726). Dedicate 10 minutes a day consistently to prayer and see what happens.
GRIEF SHARE sessions have resumed in a new location. We are meeting on Tuesday evenings in the L. Jensen Center in Amherst from 6:30-8:00 pm. Participants are welcome to join the group. We will meet weekly until the end of June. There is a variety of topics each week. Contact Cindi (715-570-0755) or Shawn(715-570-5082) with questions.

Global Outreach a Catholic Program have you ever wanted to make a difference in a young person's life? If so, Global Outreach, a Catholic student exchange program is the chance in a lifetime. Our students from five countries, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, and Slovakia, study in U.S. Catholic high schools during their junior year and return to their countries to make a difference in their schools, in the Church, and in their society. We hope that next year we will be able to send students to Pacelli High School again, but this can only happen if host families can be found for the students. Please open the door of your home and heart to a wonderful young person who will not only bring something special to the school, but also to your home. Students arrive in early August 2018 and return around June 15, 2019. To learn more, please contact Barbara TotaBoryczka, Executive Director, at (920) 540-3085 or email at [email protected] or contact Fr. Larry Seidl, Spiritual Director, at (920) 412-0320 or email at [email protected]
