-After Mass, the Knights of Columbus are hosting a Pancake Breakfast in the parish hall. All are welcome to go downstairs after Mass and enjoy a delicious breakfast and some great fellowship.
-Throughout the week the students of St. Joseph School will be raising funds and collecting items to be donated to the Pregnancy Help Center of Rice Lake. Our 8th grade students are leading that effort.
-On Wednesday, the St. Joseph School Spirituality committee, with the help of the parish religious ed program and some SJS grads, will provide the students with a Praise and Worship event which will include music, testimonials, and adoration of the Blessed Eucharist.

Parents, Alumni, Grandparents, Friends! You’re invited to the first-ever “On Fire for Jesus” event! Our Spirituality Committee of SJS parents is “on fire” for Jesus and we are excited to bring our students this fun celebration during Catholic Schools Week. Students will hear faith-based testimonies from alumni, listen to praise and worship music (also by our alumni) and spend a few minutes in adoration with Jesus. Students will see and learn how adoration works and the importance of it in the Catholic faith. All are welcome to join us!
