On the first and third Mondays of each month, we invite individuals to share and reflect on the upcoming Sunday readings. In a small group setting, we break open God’s Word, allowing it to speak to our lives and to challenge us to grow in our understanding of who God is, who we are, and who God is calling us to be.

For further information contact Chad Griesel, Pastoral Associate, at cgriesel@ffpmke.org or 414-271-6577.

Dates: Third Tuesday of the month

When these prayer shawls are completed, they are blessed and given to those who need our prayers and support. This ministry has a beautiful spirit! These gifted individuals share their faith with the sick, lonely and heavy-hearted, and remind them of God’s love. Please join us.

Healing the Whole Person: Engaging Your Story is an 8-week series that provides the framework for understanding and receiving Christ’s healing and peace in the heart of the Catholic Church.

Using videos featuring Dr. Bob Schuchts & Sr. Miriam James Heidland presenting the John Paul II Healing Center’s Healing the Whole Person teachings, each session includes a guided prayer experience and a workbook journaling activity for private reflection and prayer. These sessions also include the opportunity to receive the sacrament of reconciliation and to pray with a prayer team trained by the John Paul II Healing Center.

The goal of this video series is to facilitate a personal encounter with Jesus’ merciful love and healing truth in the areas where people have felt disconnected from love and bound by lies. We have witnessed God work powerfully in the lives of those who participate with an open heart. Wherever you find yourself now is not the end of your story. God is here. God has more for you. Engaging Your Story is time set aside for God to guide you through.

Join Family of Five Parishes Family Ministry staff and Community Gardens coordinator Julie Trafton at the Kinship Urban Farm (4355 N. Port Washington Road Glendale, WI 53212) on Saturdays, June 28 and August 30 from 9:00 am to noon and learn how you, through Kinship’s Urban Farm, can serve our neighbors in Milwaukee. All ages are welcome, and art and environment projects will be customized according to ability.
