Parish Life and Evangelization

“It is no use walking somewhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching.” ~ Saint Francis of Assisi

Parish Evangelization Committee

Committee members work to foster the continuing renewal and strengthening of parish life, to extend hospitality to those with no Church nor faith tradition, and to encourage parishioner understanding and commitment to evangelization. For more information, please contact Parish Council Chair Lorraine Deibert, 608-469-7815.

Legion of Mary

Members of the Legion of Mary honor Mary’s maternal love and serve God through their service to our parish by growing through prayer and spiritual works of mercy.
