Prayer Partner for our First Communicants at St. John Nepomucene

Prayer Partner for our First Communicants at St. John Nepomucene

Prayer can be a beautiful gift. Are you looking for an opportunity to support someone on their spiritual journey through prayer? If so, being a prayer partner for a child preparing for the Sacrament of First Communion at St. John Nepomucene this spring might be just what you are looking for!

We have 71 students anxiously preparing to receive the Body and Blood of Christ, and a prayer partner to help them spiritually on their journey is so very important.

If you are interested, please provide your name, address, phone number and email address to Kelly in our Faith Development Office at kufi@stjn.org or call (920) 788-9033. She will then pair you with a child (add a name if you would like a specific child). This is a great opportunity to share with your older children as you pray together for a First Communicant.

Thank you so much for your consideration, may God bless you!

November 8th – Traveling Rosary For Vocations

November 8th – Traveling Rosary For Vocations

Barb Kimme Memorial Traveling Rosary for Vocations: All men and women young and old, are invited to help us pray for our Diocese and an increase in vocations. According to the Vocation Ministry Analysis from 2015-2021, the state of priestly vocations in our Green Bay Diocese meets 3 criteria to be considered as “unhealthy”.

To help raise an awareness and assist in rectifying this situation, we the GB Diocesan Council of Catholic Women, have decided our best course of action is prayer to our Lord. We are sponsoring a sort of 9-month novena for vocations. We will gather at 9 different churches every 2nd Wednesday of the month from March – November. The agenda includes song, prayer, speaker and reception. Our eighth date and location is: 

Our ninth date and location is: Wednesday, November 8th at St. Jude the Apostle Parish/ Sacred Heart Church (located at: 519 Knapp Street in Oshkosh) from 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. and Father Louis Golamari will be our speaker.  

Fore more information, please contact 920-323-3243 or visit www.gbdccw.org or follow us on Facebook, gbdccw.
