"OPENING OUR HEARTS TO HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD"
NOTE FROM THE DRE
Happy New Year and Epiphany Families!
I hope you had a joyous and blessed Christmas!
The month of December was a busy and fun! Classes took a break from the usual routine to include service project activities.
The donation to the Salvation Army was well received! We collected 9 pounds of nickels and some cash totaling $72.34. Additionally, an anonymous donor matched our donation raising the total to $144.68!
The Advent Food Drive was a success! All churches received food donations and we were able to supply both the Oakfield and Lomira Food Pantries with needed items for local families!
Thank you for making Christmas cards and ornaments during class! They added joy to a resident at Hope Nursing Home! Thanks to all of you who wrapped gifts and made gift tags for your parish community! Finally, thanks to all the volunteers who assisted in dropping off donations and helping me with set up and clean up!
Classes in January will return to their normal structure. Please see the link below for the calendar with dates and times.
Blessings, Lesa Staehler
