2026 Bishop’s Appeal – Be the LIGHT

What is the Bishop’s Appeal?

The Bishop’s Appeal is a stewardship opportunity for each of us to reach out to thousands of people in search of Jesus’ love. Each gift given supports the ministries of the Diocese of Green Bay which serve our parishes, Catholic schools, and communities. Your gift truly helps bring the heart and hands of Christ to our children, young adults, families and neighbors here in northeastern Wisconsin.

Why Give to the Bishop’s Appeal?

And the king will say to them in reply, “Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.” -Matthew 25:40

Your gift to the Bishop’s Appeal will help in countless ways.  Children and families are able to attend lively, interactive education programs learning the Word of God.  A young woman in an abusive relationship is able, through counseling with Catholic Charities, to stand on her own feet.  Married couples struggling with infertility are able to become parents through Adoption Services.  Your gift to the Bishop’s Appeal makes happy endings possible.

93% of every dollar raised goes to Diocesan ministries and services here in northeast Wisconsin.

St. John Nepomucene – Church Cleaning Volunteers Needed

St. John Nepomucene – Church Cleaning Volunteers Needed

St. John Nepomucene Church Cleaning occurs on the first Monday of the month (unless it falls on a holiday, then it is held on the following Monday). We are looking for more volunteers who would like to donate their time and help us clean!

You may attend the 6:45 a.m. Communion Service and then help with the cleaning afterwards or simply come at 7:30 a.m. and meet in the Gathering Space. Light cleaning is performed which consists of dusting, vacuuming, sweeping and other miscellaneous items.

Depending on how many volunteers come, cleaning usually takes about 1.5 hours or less! Help when you are able and stay as long as you are able! You will be doing a great service to your parish all while enjoying fellowship and then indulge on some great dessert bars and refreshments afterwards!

If you have any questions, please contact Amy or Betsy (contact information listed below) or you may call the parish office at (920) 788-9061 .

January Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation

January Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation

Here is one main reason people choose to be (and remain) Catholic:

Jesus founded a Church, not just a book.

Catholics believe Jesus established a visible Church, built on the apostles, with Peter as its head (Matthew 16:18). The Catholic Church traces its leadership and teaching authority directly back to them through apostolic succession.

This means the faith isn’t reinvented every generation—it’s handed on.
