Why is the Holy Land not at Peace – with Fr. David Neuhaus, SJ

Because of the dire situation happening in the Holy Land with the Israeli – Palestine conflict, a scheduled Zoom event with Fr. David is set to give us an in depth overview of this conflict.  We have scheduled a local group viewing at the Neenah Public Library for Sunday, September 7th at 12:15 p.m., with refreshments.  Others can watch remotely.

Are you interested in learning more about this situation? We would like to find other local Catholics who want to continue learning and to participate in some prayer services this coming fall.

Registration is OPEN for the Little Flowers Girls’ Club at St. John Nepomucene

Registration is OPEN for the Little Flowers Girls’ Club at St. John Nepomucene

Registration is currently open through Friday, September 12th for the Little Flowers Girls’ Club at St. John Nepomucene! Little Flowers is open to girls in grades kindergarten through 3rd grade in the parish, schools and the local area.

St. John Nepomucene offers a modified version of Little Flowers, which is a Catholic girls group centered on learning virtues by studying individual saints. Virtues are learned through presentations, crafts and activities.  Each year a “wreath” is worked on for the blue Blessed Mother sashes the girls wear at the meetings.  The wreath is made up of 9 flower petals for the 9 virtues studied that year. Petals are earned by participating in the monthly meetings, service projects, and completing follow-up activities at home.
