God of heaven and earth, you came to us and took our earthly flesh through the gift of Mary's yes. She is our Mother in faith, as she is your earthly mother.
We are thankful beyond our ability to thank you for the gift of her Son as our brother and savior. Through her self-giving, we have been reconciled to you.
Bless us as we begin this New Year and endow us with the desire and ability to create a world of peace.
We ask all this, through the intercession of Mary to you, one God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Sanctuary of Life This weekend we celebrate the Feast of the
Holy Family. Though He was conceived of
a virgin, Jesus nevertheless lived as a son
in a human family -- a family which points
the way for the rest of us.
The family is the sanctuary of life. There can be no life
without family, and there can be no family without life. The
family, above all, is where life is to be welcomed, no matter
how fragile or inconvenient it may be.
One of the many reasons why the Pope and bishops identify
abortion and euthanasia as pre-eminent issues is because these
crimes are committed by one family member upon another.
May the Holy Family lead us to a Culture of Life!
Special Thanks to all of our parish members that helped
make the season of giving a true blessing!
Sharing Center Donations Your response to our Giving Tree for the Sharing Center and for
Love Inc. was overwhelming and much appreciated. Opening
your hearts has helped so many others in our area have a joyous
Christmas. May God in turn bless you and your families for all
you do for others, not just at this Christmas season, but
throughout the year.
The Cookie Walk A huge thank you to all our Good Cookies and all of our other
wonderful bakers in our parishes for giving of your time and
talent for our delicious fundraiser. The Cookie Walk was a great
success thanks to the many dozens of beautiful Christmas
cookies to choose from for our patrons. Once again, we received
many compliments on the variety and unique cookies that were
donated. The event raised over $1500! You are all appreciated
and may God bless you and your families this Christmas
season. It is in giving that we receive.
The Christmas Masses Thank you to all who made the Christmas Masses a joyous and
beautiful celebration. Many hands work together to make this
time of year truly miraculous. We appreciate the ministers,
musicians, decorators, and all those who donated time and/or
treasure.
Faith Formation Thank you to all the Faith Formation families that opened their
hearts and pocketbooks and donated to our Adopt a Family for
the Sharing Center. The classes collected
$280. Josephine Bienecke and Casey
Christiansen were the elves from the
Confirmation class that donated their time
to shop and help brighten someone else's
Christmas this year. Your generosity will
help others in need; you have made a
difference. Thank you so very much and
may God bless you and your families.

Pat Vos, Director of Administrative Services
As I begin my steps into retirement I wish to
extend to all of the Parish members of St.
Alphonsus and St. John the Evangelist my
thanks and gratitude. It has been a joy and a
renewal of faith in me as I have worked for
the good of God’s people.
I have a devoted husband Leroy, and three grown children. We
are grandparents to five (going on six) grandchildren. I look
forward to the time and freedom retirement will bring to allow
me to be truly present with them as they grow up.
I am blessed to have been actively involved in Parish Life for
most of my life. My parents and paternal grandparents were an
integral part of St. Alphonsus as volunteers and so I feel I have
learned well from them.
I attended grade school at St. Alphonsus and high school at St.
Mary’s in Burlington (now
Catholic Central). You do
not attend a Catholic School
system without being
involved in the Church!
I love Parish Life and being
involved in the faith life of
our Parishes. The community
that surrounds us has been a
wonderful experience for me.
I have been employed by both parishes for 13-1/2 years, in
addition to 12 years of prior employment at St. Alphonsus. I
taught Faith Formation for 17 years at St. Alphonsus. I am on
various committees in the Parish. I volunteer for many of the
Parish Fundraisers and am both a Lector and Eucharistic
Minister. When my children attended school at St. Alphonsus, I
was involved as a School Board Member, Parish Council
Member and was a Room Mom.
It was a sad day when St. Alphonsus School closed their doors,
but supporting other Catholic School systems should still be one
of our mantras.
I wish for these two Parishes to flourish! In order to keep all that
makes our Parishes alive and vibrant, it is essential that we
encourage youth participation, have young parent involvement,
and keep a keen awareness that everyone needs to be involved in
the life of the Church. It is up to each of us as individuals to keep
our faith alive in each other!
God Bless! May 2020 hold many blessings for all of you! Pat
Catholic Central High School held its 35th
Annual Topper Dinner and Auction on Satur -
day, December 7th at the Veterans Terrace in
Burlington. A huge “Thank-You” to this year’s
gold sponsors: Edward Jones, Family Vision,
James and Regan Homan, Lynch Motor Vehicle
Group, Town Bank, and Wisconsin Vision Associates! A
heartfelt “Thank You” also goes out to Trattoria di Carlo and
the Veterans Terrace. With the love and support of our devoted
donors, over 250 guests and a volunteer group of almost 60, the
auction once again was a success!!!
