Welcome to our New Youth Minister - Nino Rebholz!

We are excited to announce that we have a new part-time Youth Minister dedicated to serving the middle school and high school youth of our four parish family.

More information and a personal letter from Nino can be found at ssppmilw.org/youthministry.

Thank you for your help.
This month’s Love Story:
My partner and I were recently assigned a client in the 53206 zip code, a place that has been in the national spotlight for having high crime, the highest poverty rate in the city and the highest incidence of incarceration in the nation. In the midst of what is perceived as a “bad” neighborhood we met a grandmother who has made a home for herself and her four grandchildren. Her home was warm and inviting, and she proudly showed us her African art collection. She was delightful, and I found myself just wanting to stay and chat with her. We were able to provide her with the beds and bedding that she had requested for her grandchildren. Doing this work has given me the opportunity to see beyond the broad stereotypes and generally held perceptions about parts of our community and to meet some of the nicest people in the most unexpected places.
