Plan ahead to attend our weekly Lenten Soup & Sustenance every Friday of Lent at 5:30pm. This will include a lite soup and bread meal followed by a presentation to further enhance your Lenten experience. The first Friday of March will feature our new Bishop, Jerome Listecki, March 3.  Bishop Listecki will share some thoughts on what you might want to do for Lent '06. Stay tuned here for more information of upcoming Soup & Sustenance presentations. Another perfect way to grow your way to Easter.

LENTEN SOUP SUPPERS
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Holmen

During the holy season of Lent, the Soup Suppers

will again be held after the Saturday-evening Masses

between Ash Wednesday and Palm Sunday. Each gathering will

offer an evening of a simple meal of soup, bread and beverage.

The evenings’ activities will also include a short presentation on a

topic relevant to the observance of Lent. All parishioners are invited

to come for nourishment of body and soul.

The organizers are again looking for volunteers to sign up to

bring a crock-pot of soup or bread to one of the evenings. There

are sign-up sheets in the gathering place for volunteers to indicate

which nights they are willing to bring soup or bread.
