Catholic Stewardship Appeal update Through your support, the Catholic Stewardship Appeal raises funds

for programs and ministries throughout our ten-county archdiocese.

Thank you for bringing help, hope, and healing. Our 2020 parish goal

is $13,393. As of May 31, our parish had reached 52% of that goal

with donations of $7,005. Thank you for your generosity!

Grotto repairs fund has anonymous donor When we have reached donations of $27,500 toward our $37,500

goal for grotto repairs, an anonymous donor will donate the final

$10,000 needed for the repairs. The amount donated as of June 7 is

$21,684. If you are financially able, please consider donating toward

our goal so we can get our beloved grotto fixed and safe for all to

enjoy once again.

Let us know when you plan to return to Mass If you replied on your survey that you would not be returning to

Mass on June 14, please let us know when your plans change and you

will return so we can plan accordingly. Thank you!

Northwest Catholic School News Congratulations to our 8th grade graduates!

Although we were not able to have the traditional

graduation ceremony and prayer service, the

Northwest Catholic staff paraded to the graduates’ homes and

them with their diplomas and graduation gifts. We are proud of our

graduates and encourage them to go out and make a difference in

the world. Remember, Northwest Catholic School Knights are

Respectful, Responsible, and Ready to Shine!

Resiliency and well-being tips Experts say building resiliency helps with concerns

about health, family, and finances, among other

things. Resiliency is the ability to adjust in crisis to

ensure we can sustain over the long run.

Struggling to fall asleep at night? During these

stressful times, it can be hard to shut down. Consider

trying these ways to wind down the next time you

find yourself scrolling through social media when

you should be sleeping.

Take a hot bath or shower. The warm water

helps relax sore and tight muscles and raises

your core body temperature. When you get out,

your temperature will begin to drop, signaling

the production of melatonin, a naturally-

occurring hormone that helps regulate your

sleep cycle.

Read a book. Enjoying a book before bed can

reduce stress and calm your mind.

Write a list of what you need to do tomorrow.

Getting those thoughts on paper can help get

them off your mind.

Meet the St. B & OLGH staff members Phillip Aller, Maintenance at St. B: Phill was born and raised in

south central Lancaster county in Pennsylvania, with its rolling green

hills and farmland similar to Wisconsin. He converted to Catholicism

in 2002. Phill enjoys reading daily scripture readings, Catholic blogs,

and spiritual essays on this faith journey with others.

One of Phill’s favorite places to go to is into the great silence of The

National Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help in Champion, Wisconsin,

for its peaceful and prayerful setting.

Phill has been doing maintenance for over 20 years in agriculture,

hotels, and apartments, and particularly enjoys fixing appliances.

Phill especially loves dogs and cats, but he cares about all of God’s

creatures great and small. He keeps an eye on the ducks that nest in

our grotto, and you might see him ushering ducklings out through

the gathering area and lobby.

Mike Nuskiewicz, Facilities Manager at OLGH: Mike will mark his

fifth year working in this role in August. Prior to working at OLGH, he

was a member of Glaziers Local 1204 here in Milwaukee. Although

he was born and raised in Green Bay, Mike has been living in the

Milwaukee area for 12 years now.

Growing up in the village of Allouez (a suburb of Green Bay), Mike

attended Abbot Pennings High School. He went on to Fox Valley

Technical Institute to complete a vocational program in electronics

repair. After a short stint as a repair technician at Sears, he joined the

USMCR and left for boot camp. When he returned, he found

employment with a general contractor and became a member of

Carpenters Local 1146. After seven years as a carpenter, he

transferred to the glaziers union. In 2008, he had a shoulder joint

replacement and could no longer work in construction.

Mike enjoys music, reading, and dining out. He is very grateful for all

the wonderful people he has met at OLGH and the friendships he has

made since he started working here.

Mike and Phill do their best to keep our parish facilities clean, safe,

and in working order for all to use. If you need to contact

maintenance, you can reach Phill at 414-358-4600, ext. 142, and

Mike at 414-352-1148, ext. 211.
