The St. Patrick’s Rosary Guild will sell chili and chicken soup after Masses at Holy Family and Sacred Heart this weekend, November 14-15. Pints will be available for $6 and quarts for $12. The proceeds will benefit multiple organizations, including the Holy Family Warming Shelter, Fr. Edward Sippel Scholarship, and St. Vincent de Paul.

On Monday, November 16, Holy Family will offer a Hunter and Gun Blessing at 6:00 pm at Our Risen Savior. They will begin with a prayer service in the church followed by the blessing and a social in the church basement. Hunters are invited to bring their unloaded guns and bows to be blessed, as well as cheese and samples of their venison sausage, hot sticks, or other snacks made from their game to share. Come enjoy time with your fellow hunters! All guns will undergo a safety check upon arrival.

Reservations are now open for Holy Family’s Takeout Thanksgiving Meal! Those who reserve a meal can pick it up from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm at Holy Family Church on Wednesday, November 25. The meal will include sliced turkey with gravy, mashed potatoes, a bun, green beans, applesauce, and homemade dessert. Four hundred meals are available on a first-come, first- served basis and must be reserved by Friday, November 20 by calling (920) 921-0580. When reserving, please specify how many meals you need and if you will be picking up for anyone else. Need is not a requirement to reserve a meal. If you would like to contribute to the meal, Holy Family is seeking monetary contributions to offset the price of turkey, buns, and potatoes.

From November 9-22, they will also collect applesauce cups to add to the meals. Please bring all donations to the Parish Office or Holy Family Church, 271 Fourth Street Way. If you would like to volunteer, they are in need of assistance packing meals the morning of Wednesday, November 25, as well as with distribution, car hopping, and traffic control from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm that day. Please contact the Parish Office to sign up.

Join Holy Family community to give thanks to our Lord this Thanksgiving at their Thanksgiving Mass 9:00 am on November 26 at Holy Family. The Parish Office will be closed November 26-27 for the holiday.

It’s nearly here! This Wednesday, November 18, Fr. Ryan Pruess will climb up onto the Holy Family Warming Shelter roof and stay there until he raises $200,000 – the total operating cost for the shelter for the 2026-2027 season. Beginning at 10:00 am, you are invited to come by the shelter to take tours, learn about how you can get involved, and say “hello” to Fr. Ryan. You will also have the opportunity to send Fr. Ryan warm items, food, drinks, and comforts, as well as bathroom passes until he reaches his goal. If you can’t make it to the shelter on Wednesday, you can still donate! To contribute, visit hffdl.org/roof or send a check made out to the Holy Family Warming Shelter to 271 Fourth Street Way, Fond du Lac, WI 54937. Thank you for your support!

As we prepare our hearts for Christmas, priests from throughout the Fond du Lac and Sheboygan area will offer 12 Hours of Reconciliation from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm on Friday, December 4 at Holy Family Church, 271 Fourth Street Way.
