Totus Tuus Catholic Summer Camp

** There is still time to sign up! ** The dates for this super fun, deeply Catholic summer camp are Aug. 3 through Aug 8. The camp is open to kids entering 1st through 6th graders during the day and those entering 7th through 12th graders in the evenings. It is put on by energetic and faith-filled college-age Catho-lics that spend the summer going parish-to-parish running the same camp. These young adults often make an enormous impact on the kids participating, especially the junior and senior stu-dents. Other parishes around the diocese that have held the camp have seen dramatic effects in the camp’s ability to light a fire in the youth for Jesus! Please pick up the registration forms in the communication center by the bathrooms at SJ or in the parish offices.

Monastic Tour of Ireland

September 7-19, 2014. Deacon Michael Cullen will lead a 12 day pilgrimage inviting partici-pants to discover the wonders of Ireland’s historic sites and religious traditions through his unique wit and wisdom. Dc. Cullen’s spiritual guidance will be complemented by the intellec-tual input of his daughter, Dr. Therese Cullen, an authority in Celtic studies. Together they will bring to life some of Ireland’s best-known saints: Patrick, Columba, Brandan, Edna and Kevin, each of whom left a significant impression on the national psyche and landscape. Also in-cluded are many visits to many parts of the country. Be assured of the warmth of an Irish wel-come and plenty of opportunites for what we in Ireland call “the craic” (fun, music and dance.) Please contact Gale Strand, 715-537-9033 ext. 229 for more information.

God calls us to be community. He certainly must be smiling on our St. Joseph/Our Lady of the Lakes com-munity. The num-

ber of volunteers that came forward to make the de-tails of the liturgy, dinner and program for Father John’s retirement is a testament to their love of Fa-ther John and their servant attitude of community. On behalf of the planning committee, a HUGE thank you to all those who worked, and all who came to celebrate. Now our prayers go with Father John as he continues to serve the Lord. And we welcome Father Gene to our parish families!

Golf Ball Drop: Purchase Your Golf Ball! August 8, 2014: Join us and be a part of the annual golf ball drop at the golf outing, 50/50 event. Purchase a numbered golf ball or two or three at $5.00 each and we will place them in our bucket. The balls will be dropped on a green at Five Flags Golf Course to kick-off our Parish Festival. The ball closest to the designated hole will win half the pot. If multiple balls actually go into the cup the winners will split half the pot. The other half of the pot will go to OLL. You do not need to be a golfer to take part in this little game of chance. Weather per-mitting the golf balls may be dropped from a flying object!
