Our Mission

For many years, SS. Andrew & Thomas Parish has demonstrated extraordinary commitment to the stewardship of its facilities, faithfully maintaining and improving our parish buildings and grounds through dedicated fundraising and the successful completion of major capital projects. Today, we are blessed to have facilities in excellent condition—among the strongest in Southwest Wisconsin.

With this strong foundation in place, we are now called to move from maintenance to mission.

Our focus turns toward strengthening and sustaining our parish community by actively engaging our current members and inviting others to join us in our shared purpose: to know, love, and glorify our Lord.

Over the next ten years, our mission is to grow and deepen our parish family—both in number and in a vibrant, living faith in Jesus Christ our Savior. We seek to foster meaningful encounters with Christ, especially for those who desire a deeper relationship with Him.

Through this mission, we strive to unite our parishioners as one Body in Christ, building a faithful, welcoming, and enduring parish family rooted in truth, love, and the Gospel.

We are a committed group of parishioners, parents, and advocates working collaboratively to seek transparency, thoughtful dialogue, and faithful decision‑making regarding the proposed closure of our school.

Our mission is to:

• Advocate for the educational, spiritual, and community value of our school

• Ensure accurate information is shared openly and respectfully

• Engage Church leadership, councils, and parishioners in constructive conversation

• Explore viable alternatives and support a process rooted in diocesan norms, stewardship, and care for families

We believe strong Catholic education strengthens our parish, forms future generations, and deserves careful discernment grounded in both faith and facts.

“Whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.” (1 Corinthians 10:31)
