Spiritual

Explanatory Mass

Tuesday, June 6 | 6:30pm

Join us on Tuesday, June 6 at 6:30pm in the church for an Explanatory Mass presided by Fr. Steve Bauer. If you're unfamiliar with this kind of mass, here is a little about how it will go:

• Regular mass will be celebrated, but Fr. Steve will take some time at certain points of the mass to stop and go in depth as to the "why's" behind what's happening

• Q&A will be held directly after the mass in the church for Fr. Steve to answer any questions you may have

• If time allows, we will gather on the St. Al's rooftop for some light refreshments afterward

Come join St. Mary of the Lake and St. Alphonsus YA ministries at Cradle to Crayons on Saturday May 13th!

Cradles to Crayons provides children from birth through age 12, living in homeless or low-income situations, with the essential items they need to thrive – at home, at school and at play. They supply these items free of charge by engaging and connecting communities. As volunteers, we will process and package donations.

Please sign up with this form. Then I will send further instructions on signing up as a volunteer with this organization.
