Do you admire a parishioner’s faith and devotion? Let’s represent Hayward Cluster by nominating someone to be a candidate for the Pax Christi award. Applications are due by March 15th. This award has the endorsement of Bishop Powers, encompasses all parishes in the Diocese of Superior and is a way your parish community can recognize and honor the devout, hardworking Christian women within your parishes. Each parish is encouraged to nominate one woman annually. Please check website: https://sdccw-wisconsin.weebly.com/.

We encourage you always to work into your daily schedule some quiet time with our Lord and this Advent we challenge you to carve out more time in preparation for His arrival. The Little Books, which will be here next week, is a great devotional to help you explore the depths of Scripture and deepen your relationship with Christ. Another resource, which no doubt will be great for the whole family, is Chris Stefanik’s 4-part video series called “as we forgive those....”.
