Stella Maris Care Team
Our Care Team started about 6 months ago and we have had great success so far in matching up many of our parishioners. We are offering more volunteer training dates at the start of January 2025 on the 2nd and 7th. For a rewarding opportunity to serve others, please prayerfully consider joining the Stella Maris Care Team. Care Team volunteers make social visits to parishioners who are isolated in their homes. If this type of compassion in action is calling you, email Marnie or call 608-440-9441.

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
We have had a great start to CGS at IHM on Wednesdays! 3K - 1st grade students visit during the school day, and faith formation families at night. We are excited to have TWO atriums this year! The kids have been growing in their faith through familiar works and new materials presented to them. Thanks to everyone who helped get our baptistry atrium ready to go through donating items, or being a catechist/assistant- it has been a group effort! We hope the atrium experiences enrich the pastorate community.
