Dear Saint Mary's Parishioners, There will be a Brainstorming Session on Tuesday, June 16th at 6pm in the church hall. We are hoping to see people interested in helping at St. Mary's Parish with:
1.) The Applefest Pancake Breakfast. Set up and clean up for the Pancake Breakfast as well as ordering the food and serving the food are fairly well covered by previously committed parishioners. However, strong arms and backs are needed to carry foodstuffs from vehicles to the refrigerators. And most importantly, definite commitments are needed for persons to cook the food on September 26th and 27th for the parish to be able to continue this important fundraiser. The breakfast itself brings in between $3,500.00 to $4,000.00. Without persons willing to commit to be there to cook the food it will not be possible to maintain this fundraiser.
2.) More teachers for Religious Education on Wednesdays during the school year.
3.) New members to join the Parish Service Group which meets several times a year to help being a sounding board for the Parish Councils.
If you are not able to make this brainstorming Session but are willing to commit to cooking food on the morning of either Saturday, the 26th or Sunday the 27th please call Yvonne Hady (608) 485-2109 or Fr. Tom (608) 734-3252 before June 16th. Thank you very much!
St. Philip Announcements:
St. Philip Candles: Contact Bonnie Murphy. The cost is $5 per candle.
Food Pantry items are needed. Please leave any gift at the rear of the Church.
St. Patrick Announcements:
Dear St. Patrick Parishioners, Our church roof is getting quite rusted. Cost to repaint it would be $20,000.00. A generous person is willing to match donations for the roof up to $10,000.00. So, if parishioners of the parish can raise $10,000.00 over this coming year we will be able to raise the needed money. A restricted Roof Painting Fund will be established. If you would like to donate to this restricted fund, please mail in or drop in the collection box the donation with an envelope marked: Roof Repainting Fund. Thank you for helping to keep St. Patrick's Parish in good shape!
Tri-Parish Announcements:
The Diocese Annual Appeal is coming to a close, but each parish is still short of their goals. There is still time to make a pledge. All pledges must be mailed and received at the Diocese by June 30, 2026. Addressed envelopes are available at the back of each church. All our parishes are very thankful to all those who have already pledged. If you have not pledged, please consider doing so. The goal shortages for each parish will have to be taken from the general operating fund of that parish. Thank you and God Bless.
For Mass Intentions, if donating by check, please make all checks payable to: St. Mary Stipend Fund. Please print clearly to avoid errors: the intention, who the intention is by, and if a specific date for Mass is requested. Thank You.
Tri-Parish Adult Faith Study will be at St. Mary’s on Tuesday, June 16th at 7:00 PM.

DIVINE MERCY IN MY SOUL - St. Faustina writes, “We resemble God most when we forgive our neighbors. God is Love, Goodness, and Mercy. ( Diary, 1148 )…and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you. (Ephesians 4:31-32)
From the Priest’s Corner: Let us Respond to the Trust God has Placed in Us
In each of our childhoods there came a moment when we were entrusted by our parents with a task, sent on an errand or instructed to “watch” a younger brother or sister. It came at a moment when our parents sensed that we were ready to accept the task. It came without guarantee, without assurances, cloaked with the uncertain reality that we might just get it wrong. But it always came with trust.
Good parents know that such moments of trust foster confidence and such moments of trust build a sense of responsibility. Parents may watch from a safe distance, or worry every moment until our return, but the real point of their trust is to allow us the freedom succeed or to fail, to bring home the right or wrong item, to correct appropriately or to “accidentally” punch our younger sibling. And if we do choose wrongly, good parents are there to help us learn from our mistakes; so that the next time trust is given to us, we have learned how to do better.
Today’s three readings are about a similar kind of trust God shows to us: You are dearer to me than all other people, and are called to be a priestly, a holy people; and Sing joyfully to the Lord, all you lands; serve the Lord with gladness; and Jesus tells us that the harvest is abundant but the laborers are few. So, He sent out His disciples, and continues to send out His disciples, including you and I, to give witness to His teachings and the Good News of our salvation by our words and actions.
In today’s world, many are so fixed on themselves that they have little concern for others. Such people are only concerned about their own needs, happiness, lifestyle, body, career, or whatever, that it prevents them from noticing what is beyond their own desires and needs. One huge help to see beyond one's own desires and needs is the faithful practice of our Catholic faith, including the reception of the Sacraments. This helps a person to become more aware of God’s presence in their lives, the needs of others, and a deeper sense of our purpose in this world for doing good. Every baptized Christian has been given a task by God, just as our parents have done; they risked by trusting us, so too does God take a risk, with those whom He calls.
Jesus calls us to imitate His love and trust in His heavenly Father. And though we may not be the bravest, the most confident, the most loyal, the most persistent, neither were the twelve Apostles. Jesus calls us, not because we are perfect, but because we have been called. He reminds us, who have been baptized, that the kingdom of God is within. The task has been given to us, not because we are necessarily the best, but because we have been adopted by God as His children. Even if we get it wrong at times, God’s love calls us back again to be faithful to Him and His trust in us. Listen to His call for He is sending you to bring in a good harvest for Him during your life's journey. This means we will need to step out of a self-centered world, to experience the trust God has placed in us.
