Parish & Community News

Due to the timing of Holy Week this year, Holy Family Catholic Community’s Cor Jesu will not take place in the month of April. It will return to its usual schedule on Thursday, May 4th at Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church.

Join Holy Family's "Neighbors in Faith" Program!

As warmer weather approaches, you may be in need of assistance with (or eager to help someone with!) yardwork, spring cleaning, running errands, minor repairs or jobs, and other tasks. Maybe you're just looking for companionship. If you could benefit from assistance or from sharing your assistance, please consider connecting with Holy Family’s Neighbors in Faith Program.

Earth Day Fair

The Earth Day Fair returns to Founder’s Hall at the motherhouse of the Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes (CSA) at 320 County Rd K in Fond du Lac. On Saturday, April 22nd from 10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M., you are invited to interact with Earth-focused exhibitors and participate in various planned activities. Full event details are available at https://www.csasisters.org/news-events/earth-fair.cfm

As part of the event, from 1:00 to 3:00 P.M., we will host a screening of "The Letter," a documentary about how spiritual values unite us in the face of a planetary emergency. "The Letter" builds on the teaching of Laudato Si’, Pope Francis’s encyclical on care for our common home, which itself stands on the catechism of the Catholic Church and teachings from popes over the last five decades. This film screening will include prayer, conversation, and a decision about how we will take action together.

Safe Environment Week April 23rd-29th

The Archdiocese of Milwaukee recognizes April 23rd-29th as Safe Environment Awareness Week. Each year in the month of April, which is recognized around the country as Child Abuse Prevention Month, the Archdiocese dedicates a week to elevating the general awareness of the Church’s efforts to keep our children safe.

The Archdiocese wants people to know that we are committed to maintaining safe environments in our parishes and schools through child abuse prevention training for adults; criminal background checks for all clergy, volunteers working with minors, and employees; safety training for children in each grade level; and adhering to all mandatory reporting requirement laws.

This year join Holy Family Catholic Community as the parish marks its support for child abuse prevention by wearing the color blue on Monday, April 24th. Wearing blue helps remind us and encourages others to prevent child abuse and support healthy children and families.
