Peace and Justice

Advent Candle Project
Each year, our students and parish families serve numerous local families, senior citizens and social service agencies during the holidays. Volunteers serve in a variety of ways: planning committee, collecting and sorting donations, wrapping gifts and delivering holiday boxes. The highlight of the project is a huge wrapping party in the first part of December. This is a wonderful way that the campus and parish communities work together to be of service to those in our local areas. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Carol Guyette at (920) 336-5362.

Knitting for Peace
Veteran and novice knitters, young or old, fellow parishioners gather monthly to knit baby blankets, hats, mittens, prayer shawls... to assist parishioners who might benefit from some homemade comfort of home amidst moments of living and dying. It is a beautiful and tangible way to keep our beloved parishioners in our thoughts and prayers. Please contact Rita Dufour at (920) 499-8708 if you are interested.
