Attention Current and Interested Ambassadors

The Connection Committee at St. John Nepomucene is having a “refresher” training session. Whether you have been an ambassador before, are willing to try or just interested in more information; please consider joining us on October 18th after the 10:00 a.m. Mass in the Fellowship Hall.

What is an ambassador? We are another layer between the door greeters and the church ushers. Our goal is for all parishioners to be greeted several times as they enter into our church. This is not scheduled. Come when you can, as often as you can!

It will be low key and informational! Just bring your smile (behind your mask) and feel free to bring a friend along!

Thank You for the Masks

Hello parish mask suppliers:

We wish to thank you for the generous donations of masks you have provided to St. John Nepomucene during this time of the COVID virus. Please know how grateful we have been, and continue to be, for this much-needed gift. The masks are being used at all of our Masses!

Some of you have donated several different amounts of masks of different sizes, shapes, styles and colors. Some of you have donated financially for the disposable masks. It is wonderful to see our parishioners pull together for a common cause in these difficult times! May God bless all of you for your generosity.

We continue to pray for the safety of all of our families.

In Christ,

Deacon Bruce Corey
Pastoral Associate

Service Project for Pillars – Help Needed

Do you have a group (family, card, bowling, etc.) that is looking for a service project?

We are looking for those people to fill a March, June, September and December time slot. Our parish serves a meal on the third Wednesday of the month at Pillars (located at 400 North Division Street in Appleton) from 4:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. A group of five (5) people work nicely.

At this time because of COVID-19, you can choose to go to Pillars and prepare and serve a meal provided by Pillars. Or another choice is to prepare and deliver a meal made in your home.

Finally, you may choose to make a monetary donation towards a meal for the third Wednesday.

Training is available! Please contact Toni Ellenbecker at (920) 740-0811 if you have an interest, if you have any questions or would like additional information.Thank you!
