ARE YOU CALLED TO BE CATHOLIC?

There are many reasons why people choose to become Catholic. Some are married to a Catholic and are ready to explore this faith further. Some may have attended a Catholic funeral and were moved by that experience. Perhaps some admire a person who is Catholic, and they’re interested in exploring the faith themselves.  We are offering the R.C.I.A. (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) process again this fall.

BISHOP’S APPEAL 2017

BISHOP’S APPEAL COMING TO A CLOSE

SCHEDULING MASSES

Each parish in our Circles of Faith accepts Mass requests for your intentions. The stipend/offering is $10 whether on a weekend or weekday. To schedule, please call the church office where you would like the Mass said. As an alternative, and especially if you want to have many Masses said, the retired priests of our diocese appreciate having an intention for the Masses they celebrate daily. The stipends are also a source of help for them in their retirement. Mass intentions for retired priests may be arranged by calling your parish office.

COMMUNION FOR THE HOMEBOUND

STEWARDSHIP MESSAGE

As Christian stewards, we are called to remember that God and our faith need to be apart of our decisions on how we use our time, talent and treasure. We don’t make those decisions on our own; instead we consider what our faith and God say about what we do with our money, resources, and time.

DID YOU KNOW?

The Green Bay Diocese through its Catholic Charities Office offers teen parent services when a pregnancy occurs. They provide help to frightened and confused, sometimes angry young adults in making decisions about their situation and the choice to be parents. It’s just one of the ways that your gifts to the Bishop’s Appeal help people in northeastern Wisconsin. Thank you for your support.

REPORTING SEXUAL ABUSE

If you know of an incident of sexual abuse of a person who is now under the age of 18 by a priest, deacon, employee or volunteer, please immediately call the civil authorities and then the diocese. If the person was abused as a minor but is now an adult, please call Jayne Stefanic, Diocesan Assistance Coordinator, at 920-272-8174, or toll free at 1-877-270-8184.

We always encourage you to report the incident to civil authorities.
