Advent Collections

Every year during Advent, we have three Sundays of collections.  These collections help meet the needs of those in our community and spread Christmas cheer to them and to our homebound parishioners.  Listed below are the dates and details of each collection.  Watch for more information on our website and in upcoming bulletins.  If you have any questions, please contact the parish office

Card Sunday - December 2nd & 3rd

For the first weekend of Advent, we will be collecting Christmas cards for our homebound parishioners.  If you would like to participate, please write a card (store bought or homemade) to each of the parishioners listed in the bulletin.  Messages inside the cards are always appreciated! 

​Label each envelope with the recipients name(s) and place them in the baskets in the back of church on December 2nd or 3rd.  They can also be brought to the parish office by Monday, December 4th.
 
Children are invited to make cards as well!  Since Wauwatosa Catholic School closed, we are providing coloring sheets in the back of church for them to decorate and then return to church or the parish office.  The names of the homebound parishioners do not need to be on these sheets.
 
Each homebound parishioner will receive their packet of cards, pictures from the children and a beautiful poinsettia.   We thank you in anticipation for your participation!

Gift Sunday - December 9th & 10th

There are many needs in our community, but none more than at the holiday season.  Your generous gifts provide a wonderful holiday for those in need! 

Click the button below for more details and a Scrip order form.  Copies are also available in the back of church and at the parish office.

Please note that we are no longer accepting Scrip orders through the parish office, but you are welcome to purchase them after the 10:30 am Masses, or from a store.
 
After the 10:30 am Mass on Sunday, December 10th, we would greatly appreciate some extra help with sorting all the gifts.  Please meet in the front of church.
 
Contact the parish office with any questions at (414) 453-3875.

Food Sunday - December 16th & 17th

Please bring non-perishable (and unexpired) food items with you to Mass and place them in the back of church. 

​The food collected that weekend will be donated to the Hunger Task Force because the Wauwatosa Food Pantry receives enough donations during December to meet its needs.
