St. Katharine Drexel Donations 

The St. Katharine Drexel Shelter is a temporary housing environment in Fond du Lac for singles and families experiencing homelessness. They are in dire need of toiletry supplies and are asking for donations. 

This is a partial list of some of the toiletry items that are needed: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, shaving cream, deodorant, lotion, razors, hair supplies, feminine products, baby shampoo and lotion. 

Please bring your donations to the church narthex and place in the box marked "St. Katharine Drexel Shelter." Donations will be accepted through September 15th. 

Contact Parish Nurse Joan Farrell; 920-602-0912 for additional information. Thank you!


Picnic Shelter Fundraiser Update

Support for the picnic shelter fundraiser is progressing nicely.  We have now raised $28,227, 20% of our $144,480 project funding goal. Thank you all who have contributed to the project. 

The shelter will be used for a variety of events, including summer worship services, VBS, Sunday Night Live!, outdoor weddings and family gatherings. 

The 34' x 64' structure will feature wood scissor trusses with glulam beams supported by eight, nine-foot stone-wrapped steel columns. Weatherproof materials are featured throughout. 

A 1500-watt sound system coupled with custom LED lighting will provide users with an immersive outdoor experience.

Women's Retreat : Saturday, November 2

Women of Hope and friends, on Saturday, November 2nd we will have a Women's Retreat at church where we will embark on a "Journey Together." 

As followers of Christ, we live each day as pilgrims, traveling the path Jesus sets before us toward our forever home. Though the road may be rocky, God provides reminders along the way to show us that He writes our story, paves our path, walks with us always - and provides friends and fellow travelers to help us along the way. 

This women's retreat offers a few hours of fellowship, spiritual growth, uplifting music, and more. Watch for further details, but mark your calendars now - you won't want to miss it!
