Welcome to Sts. Mary and John Catholic Parish

Just a reminder that our Alms Collection is this weekend August 6-7: this benefits our Food Pantry. Thank you for your generosity! During the month of July 2022 our parish Food Pantry served 111 households, which is 223 people served. Thanks to all those who have helped! We will also offer the Anointing of the Sick after all Masses this weekend. If you need to schedule an anointing separately from this, please call the parish office. Let's pray the Hail Mary this week for all the students going back to school. May Our Lady watch over them and their teachers throughout this year. Thank you and have a great week!

I apologize for not sending a message the last couple of weeks, but I was away and then was out with COVID. I look forward to being back at Sts. Mary and John this weekend for the Masses. Just a reminder for those who know of people interested in joining the Catholic Church. We have a couple of upcoming sessions for those wanting to ask questions about the faith. Those sessions are August 7th, 14th and 22nd: all at 6:00 pm. You can find more info in our bulletin or call Deacon Dennis in the parish office. Also, if you’re interested in watching some of us priests take on our seminarians in a volleyball game, it’s happening this Sunday at the Haubstadt Old Gym at 6:00 pm. This has become an annual event and it should be a lot of fun. If you can’t join us, please at least pray that no one breaks a hip! Let’s pray the Hail Mary this week for all parents: may our Blessed Mother intercede for them and help them to be good witnesses to their children. Thank you and have a great week!

First, we want to give a warm welcome to Fr. Eugene Schmitt who joins us today. You will see him this weekend at the Masses. Fr. Eugene will have his office at Sts. Mary and John, so feel free to stop in and introduce yourself. With July 4th coming up on Monday, we have reason to give thanks for this great nation of ours. We also recognize our responsibility in being good citizens. Just a word of encouragement to think about how you might improve the neighborhood where you live. Maybe it’s as simple as praying for your neighbors, but that’s a good start. Let’s pray the Hail Mary this week for our nation: that it can be a place of peace and hope for all. Thank you and have a great week!
