These weekly groups are a great way to meet other Catholic students and also to grow in your faith. All students are welcome to join, no matter their level of knowledge about the faith. Contact Bridget, bridget.dunn@focus.org to sign up!
Anointing of the Sick - Feb 11 and 12
We will celebrate the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick following immediately after all of the Masses the weekend of Feb 11 and 12. For anyone wishing an individual time for anointing, please contact Fr. Dan at fr.dan@newmanec.com or Mary Richmond at 715-834-3399 or parishoffice@newmanec.com
Anointing of the Sick claims the power of the Holy Spirit to heal and comfort. It is intended for major illnesses or injury, for the elderly who may be in frail health, for chronic illnesses of the body and for long term mental suffering.
Great Books Club—Open to all!
Starting this semester, Savannah will be hosting a reading club focused on works of fiction and spiritual autobiographies. She majored in English and Catholic Studies when she was in college and is a firm believer that great literature can enrich the journey of faith! This group is a great opportunity to expand our personal perspectives, partake in meaningful discussions, and have fun! Whether you read every day, or it’s been a while since you picked up a book, we’d like to invite you to join us for discussions!
Our first book will be The Long Loneliness, the spiritual autobiography of Dorothy Day. We will be reading and discussing the book in three parts as designated by the author.
Schedule (Tuesdays, 6:30-8 pm):
Part 1 Searching: March 7
Part 2 Natural Happiness: March 28
Part 3 Love is the Measure: May 9
We will not be providing the books so you will need to either buy a copy or rent it from the library. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Savannah, siegler@newmanec.com.
