“Please join me for our annual Mass of Atonement. This Mass is a faith-filled, heartfelt and visible action step as we continue our path of reconciliation and resolution. While no single statement or event can make up for the painful abuse of our most vulnerable brothers and sisters, as believers we know that in Christ’s suffering, death and resurrection, we find hope beyond measure as we move toward a brighter future.” — Archbishop Jerome E. Listecki.

The Mass of Atonement will be held at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, 1023 E. Russell Ave. in Bay View, WI. All are welcome. ... See MoreSee Less

The monthly collection of donations for St. Vincent de Paul will be after all Masses March 30-31. We are in special need of gently used or new sheets and pillowcases (single and full) and bath towels. Other household items such as dishes, glasses, pots and pans, etc., are always needed. Please call Randy Bedore at 262-617-0910 for pick up of larger items. Thank you for your generous support.

This month’s Love Story:
My SVdP partner and I visited with Ebony last month. Ebony had just relocated with her seven children, ages 9 to 1, from Indiana to be closer to extended family. Her request was for beds and a couch. Ebony lives in the Harambee neighborhood in a small two bedroom flat on the upper floor. When I called her she told me she was in need of beds for her children because they were all sleeping in a queen size bed with no blankets or pillows. She also said they were in need of more dishes, silverware and towels. We were able to bring those household items with us because of your generous donations. At our visit we were able to give Ebony a voucher to the SVdP store to order beds, a couch and a dresser. We were also able to pay for delivery since she had no way to get these furniture items home. She had to go to the south side store by bus. While talking to Ebony we discussed the possibility of finding her a better place to rent with more bedrooms for her children. We gave her the name of a woman who owns rental property in the Riverwest neighborhood; someone who agreed to work with Ebony. Ebony began to cry and said she would call her. We learned that Ebony works at a day care center full-time and is able to take her younger children with her while her other children are at school. Ebony also told us that she does hair on the side for family and friends to earn extra money. She earns $1100 per month and currently pays $600 in rent.
