Mission Club

The St. John Nepomucene Mission Club was founded in 1957. We are a group of volunteers that get together to complete quilt orders, sort donated items , create handmade items, take seams out of sheets, sell handcrafted items in our shop and many more jobs. We also seek to help those in need.

All of our sales help support select local, national and international nonprofit organizations.

Join Us

Please join us anytime from 7:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. on Wednesdays during the school year. We have five sewing machines and oodles of fabric to work with. We also have prayer time and refreshments at 9:30 a.m. and again at 2:30 p.m. We would love to have your help and camaraderie, and we will find something to keep you busy. Some people prefer to make items in their own homes. We will gladly provide the yarn or fabric for you.

Hours

Our store is open for purchases on Wednesdays from 7:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. and the 2nd Saturday of the month from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m. during the months of September through May. We are closed June through August for the summer.

Located in the New Parish Center

We have moved from the duplex to the basement of the New Parish Center. Access our space from the lower entrance on Vandenbroek Street. Thank you to everyone who has helped us move!

Donations

We accept new and clean, gently-used clothing, linens, shoes and boots for infants through adult sizes for the Community Clothes Closet.

We also accept brand new sewn clothing and shopping tag clothing for the Salvatorian Mission Warehouse in New Holstein, which are then shipped to third-world countries.

Our donation dropbox is located on the lower level of Vandenbroek Street. Please no electronics, furniture or luggage or housewares.
