Online Survey Ends May 29

Pope Francis has directed that all parishes worldwide collect information that will be used by our diocese and the Vatican in preparation for a world-wide synod on the future of the Catholic Church, to be held next year. St Patrick Parish (Onalaska) prepared a 15-minute survey. This survey will be available through May 29.

Pardon Our Construction

This summer, the east end of our church is a construction zone. Our Greeters will see you safely to good seating. Scrip will be available in the gathering space. Both restrooms and the mother's room are inaccessible; please use the restrooms in the parish hall.

We're Hiring

Our finance person, Holly Gorman, has resigned. We are grateful to share that our longtime friend and musician Mike Juran is in training as her successor.

We are also in search of person who will be responsible for guiding our young people in their faith. The title is Coordinator of Youth Faith Formation, a new role at MMOC. Please pass along this job description to anyone you think might be a good fit.

While we're on the subject of staff, our newly ordained permanent deacon, Rev. Mr. Terry Bell, now joins us. He assisted for the first time, read the Gospel, and gave his first homily at the 10:00 Mass on 8 May 2022.

His Life. His Mission. Our Focus.

We've been talking about the question, "What comes after 'Building Our Future Together' is accomplished?" On the weekend of Feb. 26-27, Fr. Konopa spoke after Masses about the themes and ideas that have emerged. You can watch a video on our channel. The third presentation, March 19-20, is also on video.

Econolodge Dinner

Every Thursday volunteers get together in the parish kitchen to prepare a meal for residents at the Econolodge. MMOC will continue to provide a meal until the end of April. If you would have a little extra time, a roomy vehicle to transport the food, or would like to give a monetary donation, please contact Barbara Stetzer at Matthew25@mmoclacrosse.org. Thank you.

Please Let Us Know When Someone is in Hospital

When you or someone you love is in hospital, we would visit you, pray with you, and bring you the sacraments. However, due to regulations, hospitals will not inform us when one of our parish family is in care. Please ask someone to call us at 788-5483, ext. 2. Thank you.

Using the Parish Hall

In response to many requests, MMOC has adopted a rental policy (PDF) about using our hall and education center for parish and other events. If you would like to hold an event at MMOC, please complete our request form (PDF) and send it to the parish office.
