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.

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. 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.
