Cluster Opportunities to Give to Families in Need

Be the Church. Change the World! 

This Advent, as we prepare our hearts and minds for the gift of Jesus at Christmas, we're invited to consider how we can reflect Jesus' love as a gift to others. Here are several ways our cluster is demonstrating that love to those in need in our local communities:

Gifts from the Heart   

St. Joseph, along with several other churches in Barron, provides Christmas gifts to Barron Area School District children in need who are 18 years old and younger.

If you would like to purchase gifts for the children, information specific to the age and wishes of each child will be available before and after Mass on November 30 and December 7 at St. Joseph, and December 1 and December 8 at St. Peter. Gifts should be returned to St. Joseph by December 15. 

If these dates and times do not work for you, please make other arrangements by contacting Nancy Cusick at 715-637-5756 or [email protected], or Beanie Wyse at [email protected]. 

Giving Tree - Gift Tags

St. Peter is sponsoring families in Barron County as well! If you would like to help out, grab a tag from the giving tree located in the lobby of St. Peter. Purchase suggested items, wrap them, and return them under the tree by December 11.

Visiting the Homebound

Father Chandra, along with the Worship Committee, are preparing gift baskets and coordinating visits to our parishioners who are homebound. If you know of someone in need, or who no longer is able to get out, please call the parish office.

Thank you for your generosity and support!

"The fourth commandment illuminates other relationships in society. In our brothers and sisters we see the children of our parents; in our cousins, the descendants of our ancestors; in our fellow citizens, the children of our country; in the baptized, the children of our mother the Church; in every human person, a son or daughter of the One who wants to be called 'our Father.' In this way our relationships with our neighbors are recognized as personal in character. The neighbor is not a 'unit' in the human collective; he is 'someone' who by his known origins deserves particular attention and respect." (CCC 2212)
