FORMED Video of the Month for January – St. John Nepomucene

Do you sense that movement in you – that desire to go deeper in your relationship with Jesus? Do you have a longing to follow Jesus more closely, to be transformed by him? Do you notice a stirring inside, a longing to love God with all your heart but feel unsure of what steps to take next?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, know that God is the one who has put those yearnings in your soul. He has already given you the heart of a disciple. This series simply aims to help you follow those initial promptings of the Holy Spirit so that you may more intentionally encounter Jesus anew each day and be more disposed to the power of his grace molding you, transforming you ever more into his likeness.

Watch this series as Dr. Sri unpacks the steps prompted by the Holy Spirit!

Learn and become a member of the Catholic Daughters of America – Ave Maria #1011 in Appleton

Learn and become a member of the Catholic Daughters of America – Ave Maria #1011 in Appleton

My name is Joyce Luckow and I am the regent  of the Catholic Daughters of the Americas Ave Maria #1011 based at St Pius Church in Appleton. We are working to make the world a better place to live as well as enhancing our spirituality.

Catholic Daughters of the Americas was started in 1903 by the Knights of Columbus because they knew that behind every good man there is a woman, and they needed our help. Catholic Daughters is the oldest and largest Catholic woman’s organization in the Americas with 65,000 members. We are a service group that supports our parish, our priests, seminarians as well as the people around us. We serve meals at Pillars, the homeless shelter, collect food for Loaves and Fishes and ring bells for the Salvation Army.

Four years ago, a Junior Catholic Daughters group was formed in Kaukauna. We adopt a nonprofit each year and help them reach one of their goals. The first year with several fundraising events, and with the help of some adult supporters we were able to raise $5,000 to put air conditioning in Kaukauna’s St Vincent DePaul’s store. The next year we adopted Lincoln’s Foster Closet and helped with their mission of helping kids in foster care with their basic needs as many times they leave their home with nothing but the clothes on their back. We raised money and purchased a trailer for them to pick up donated furniture for these children.

Last year, VIDA opened their home for pregnant women in Darboy. The air conditioning units in the building did not work and we raised $5,000 to help with the $12,000 cost of repair!

We would like to invite you to join our group. We meet once a month from September to May. We are working to move our meeting site to a more central place and inviting any young women, 4th grade through high school in the Fox Valley to come join us!

FORMED Video of the Month for November – St. John Nepomucene

Advent is an odd season. It’s a season that’s not about itself, but a season about preparing for Christmas. But that reality gets lost in the shuffle and stress of getting all the right gifts, decorations, and dinner ingredients. Dr. Tim Grey uses storytelling and readings from the Old Testament to explain that we need live in the “pre-season” of Advent well, so we can be prepared to welcome and receive the greatest gift God the Father wants to give us for Christmas: His son, Jesus.

You may view this video called “Advent…Rethinking the Season” by Dr. Tim Gray on FORMED by clicking this link: https://watch.formed.org/videos/advent-rethinking-the-season-by-dr-tim-gray.
