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.

On Monday, October 20th at 7 p.m. in the Xavier Fine Arts Theatre, Ed Jozsa will present “ENCOUNTERING GOD on Death’s Doorstep”, his fascinating account of both terror and a glimpse of Heaven that occurred during and after he was crushed and trapped in his car for hours following an accident.

STEP 1: Ticket Purchase for the Retreat
You can purchase your retreat ticket right here on our registration website beginning at 8:00 am on November 5, 2025.  This ticket includes all meals, snacks, and the cost of the retreat (speakers, equipment rental, etc.).  Each woman attending can purchase her own ticket or you can do as you have done in the past and have one person buy a ticket for everyone in the group.  You are only able to pay with one credit card in a transaction so if you register more than one person, it will have to be charged to one credit card.  You will need the following information for each person you register: Name, Email, Phone, City. Click here for a direct link to the ticket purchase.

STEP 2: Room Reservation at the Osthoff
THIS STEP IS DONE AFTER PURCHASING YOUR TICKET(S). Reserve a room for your group at the Osthoff Resort. There are two ways to do this:

Option 2: Online Reservation:
To reserve your room online, visit the Osthoff Resort website. During the booking process, you’ll be prompted to enter a specific group ID.  Our group ID is #### (Will be provided the day before registration opens). This code will identify you as part of our group and ensure you receive rooms reserved for our group. The online booking system will only require you to pay for the first night at the time of booking, and the balance will be due upon check-in.

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.
