CIA-Faith Mission Operatives ministry is excited to announce: Fr. James Jugenheimer who will present “Finding the Fisherman’s Bones”on November 17th at Xavier Fine Arts

As we continue to celebrate the May election of Pope Leo XIV, the 266th successor of Saint Peter and the first American pope, CIA-Faith Mission Operatives would like to invite your parishioners to join us for one of the Catholic Church’s most intriguing “Pope stories”! 

On Monday, November 17th at 7 p.m. in the Xavier Fine Arts Theatre, Fr. James Jugenheimer of Appleton’s St. Pius X Parish, will present “FINDING THE FISHERMAN’S BONES – The fascinating story of the Vatican search for St. Peter’s tomb.”  

The location of Saint Peter’s tomb is well known now, but for centuries it remained hidden in an ancient Roman burial ground deep beneath the main altar of the Vatican basilica that bears his name. How, by whom, and when was his grave finally discovered? Why is he buried there? And how do we know it’s really him?

A teacher in his early years, Fr. Jim excels in his ability to research and bring to life the details of some of our faith’s many intriguing stories and mysteries, including this one!

No tickets needed! Free will offering encouraged. For details, please visit: https://sites.google.com/site/ciafmo/events-1.

Worldwide Marriage Encounter – November 8th and 9th in Neenah, WI

Worldwide Marriage Encounter – November 8th and 9th in Neenah, WI

WWME is a worldwide Catholic marriage enrichment ministry that puts on weekend experiences where couples learn to better communicate and live out their sacrament every day. It is a chance for couples to grow more intimately in faith and love together. Everything is based in our Catholic teachings and beliefs, and our faith is involved in all aspects of the experience. It’s similar to National Marriage Encounter that has been held in Green Bay in the past – both that group and Retrouvaille branched off of the original WWME experience.

The experience is happening November 8th and November 9th at St. Mary Catholic Middle School in Neenah, Wisconsin. Couples can register for the experience at wwme.org.
