Advent Collections 2024

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.   

​If you have any questions, please contact the parish office at (414) 453-3875.

Card Sunday - November 30th & December 1st

For this 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 November 24th bulletin.  Messages inside the cards are always appreciated!  Label each envelope with the recipients name(s), leave them unsealed and place them in the basket in the sanctuary (front of church) on November 30th & December 1st.

People are invited to take Christmas coloring templates from the back of church.  These can colored and returned to a basket in the back of church by December 7th & 8th or to the parish office by Monday, December 9th. The names of the homebound parishioners should not be on these sheets.
 
Each homebound parishioner will receive their packet of cards, a beautiful plant and some of the colored Christmas sheets.  We thank you for your participation!
 

Gift Sunday - December 7th & 8th

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 bring the gifts and gift cards to the sanctuary the weekend of December 7th & 8th.
 
Scrip is sold at the parish office during regular hours, and through Christmas, after most of the 4:30 pm and 10:30 am weekend Masses.
 
After the 10:30 am Mass on Sunday, December 8th, we would greatly appreciate some extra help with sorting all the gifts.  Please meet in the front of church.
