 Solanus Casey Prayer Garden
“Seek and you shall find. Ask and it will be given to you. Knock and it
shall be opened for you.” That is the theme of our Solanus Casey
Prayer Garden. All of us are experiencing so many needs in our lives - for
ourselves and for others. I encourage you to take your needs to God through
the hands of His servant, Father Solanus Casey. The Prayer Garden has come
to life this year. Many people have volunteered to weed and take care of the
garden throughout the summer and fall. Take some time to just sit and enjoy
the atmosphere of the garden and spend some time in meditation and prayers.
If you enjoy the warmness of the sun, come from mid morning to late
afternoon. If you prefer it a bit cooler come in the morning or in the early
evening. Enjoy this wonderful space.

-
Listening to God’s Word and integrating it within our
daily lives.
-
Sharing our faith with others.
-
Dedicating ourselves to Catholic values.
-
Continually educating ourselves, our children and
others.
-
Fostering stewardship in our dedication of time, talent
and treasure.
-
Helping others who are in need.

TheCompass has a new look!
TheCompass,
Official newspaper of the Catholic Diocese of Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Here are some current articles on
TheCompass:

|
The liturgical year,
also known as the Christian year, consists of the cycle of liturgical
seasons in Christian churches which determines when Feasts, Memorials,
Commemorations, and Solemnities are to be observed and which portions of
Scripture are to be read. Distinct liturgical colours may appear in
connection with different seasons of the liturgical year. The dates of the
festivals vary somewhat between the Western (Roman Catholic and Protestant)
churches and the Eastern Orthodox Churches, though the sequence and logic is
the same.
