Our Holy Family Has Found a Home

At St. Joseph's

“To gather round the Bethlehem grotto contemplating there the Holy Family, enables us to appreciate the gift of family intimacy in a special way, and spurs us to offer human warmth and concrete solidarity. “– Angelus, December 29, 1996 St. John Paull II

The Most Rev. Jeffrey S. Grob, an Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Chicago since 2020, has been named the 12th Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee today by Pope Francis! Archbishop-Designate Grob, 63, succeeds the Most Rev. Jerome E. Listecki, who gave his notice of retirement on his 75th birthday March 12.Archbishop-Designate Grob will be installed as Archbishop of Milwaukee on January 14, 2025, by the Papal Nuncio to the United States, Cardinal Christophe Pierre. Until that time, Archbishop Listecki serves as Apostolic Administrator of the archdiocese.Archbishop-Designate Grob grew up in Cross Plains outside Madison and has served in the Archdiocese of Chicago since he was ordained to the priesthood there in 1992. Find out more here: www.archmil.org/bishop-grob.“While still recovering from the surprise of the Holy Father’s appointment, I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to take up this new role in my home state,” said Archbishop-Designate Grob. “And trusting deeply in the Lord’s goodness, I commit myself to the service of the people of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. I am excited to get to know them and look forward to growing together in faith.”

Human Concerns

October Donations

Through the month of October our generous parish has donated to the empty baskets
15 blankets
Over 50 toothbrushes mouthwash and toothpaste
Over 50 bottles of soap and shampoo
Countless warm articles of clothing.
And more.
These items go to organizations that support the needy, including Repairs of the Breach, Family Promise, McCannon Brown center, and the House of Peace.

Women's Group

Twenty-eight women attended our Women’s Group on October 12 to eat breakfast and listen to our guest speaker, Joan Carey, from First Fruits. Joan invited us to look for God everywhere and talked about her own faith journey. She also talked about how she started her ministry, First Fruits, which is a place for women to grow in faith together.
Might be another field trip for us!
Join us on October 26 when we visit Holy Hill (sign up at the resource table) and at our next meeting on December 14 at 10am when Susan McNeil, from our Archdiocese,
will lead us in an Advent reflection.
