If you have experienced the death of a loved one, Saint Kilian and Holy Sepulcher Parishes invite you to be part of a nine-week program that offers support, conversation, and comfort. The group will meet weekly from March 1 through April 26 on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm in the lower level of Saint Kilian Church. You do not need to be present at every session but may attend as your schedule permits. Our first session,Is This Normal? introduces the GriefShare program and explores why the grief experience may be harder than expected.

Let Us Pray For Those Who Serve…Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. We ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior..
Praying for Our Men and Women in Service – We give our sincere thanks and appreciation to all veterans who have served their country. We continue to pray for our loved ones who are currently serving in the armed forces, whether they are stationed overseas or in the United States.
To submit a name to add to a prayer list that is published occasionally in our Parish Bulletin, please submit the request at by clicking the button below.
We would ask that in order to avoid any errors, please be sure to type the information clearly. Please inform us when a loved one has been discharged in order for us to keep our list up-to-date.
BOOK CLUB
Please join us for a discussion of the book The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd on Tuesday, February 8th at 7:00 pm at Saint Kilian Church in Meeting Room D.
Parents and Guardians, please remember to keep your eyes on your inbox for Faith Formation information updates during the global pandemic. We ask for your continued patience and flexibility as we monitor evolving guidelines and mandates.
Special Needs Program Spotlight! The Special Needs Faith Formation Program that kicked off in the fall of 2019 has grown each year and serves students of all ages and grade levels with a wide variety of needs from both Saint Kilian and Holy Sepulcher. These children have benefited from the opportunity to have one-on-one catechesis with our volunteer Teen Mentors from the surrounding school districts. Teens work with the same student each year on Sunday mornings to provide consistency and to reap the benefit of a relationship with their student that grows and blooms over time. Parents have a voice in the initial planning for each year for their child and the volunteers create custom lesson plans each week. If you have a young teen who might be interested in joining this ministry who will be confirmed this year or was confirmed last year, we will soon be looking for more volunteers to replace our graduating seniors and to accommodate new students! Volunteers are interviewed and join the ministry late spring and early summer. Additionally, if you are a parent with a child that might benefit from this program, contact Mary French to learn more and discuss the possibilities for your child!
Did you know that we have a program specifically designed for students who have been away from Faith Formation and need to build a foundation or refresh what was learned in the past? Our Faith on Fire! Forward uses a learning portal concept to fill the gap. This program is ideal for middle grades (5-7) but doesn’t rule out others. Your child should be enrolled in Faith Formation each school year and there are many options available in our grouping to fit your individual family needs. Children can be enrolled as soon as they are school age and can participate in programs at either grouping location.
In the event of severe weather at any time during the Faith Formation year, you will be notified when the decision is made to cancel via Flocknote email AND text message. Aways check for messages prior to leaving home if the weather is questionable. In the event of a cancellation, lessons may be made up at home.

Saint Vincent de Paul:
In the Gospel today, the disciples decide to leave everything to follow Jesus. We are also called to follow Jesus, who tells us that “whatever you do to the least of mine, you do for me.”
Your gift to the poor can bring the love and peace of Jesus to those who live in fear and doubt, loneliness and dread.
Thank you for your continued support and generosity.

Our Lord said to St. Faustina: Encourage souls to say the chaplet which I have given you...Whoever will recite it will receive great mercy at the hour of death...Even if there were a sinner most hardened, if he were to recite this chaplet only once, he would receive grace from My infinite mercy. I desire to grant unimaginable graces to those souls who trust in my mercy...Through the Chaplet you will obtain everything, if what you ask for is compatible with My will.
Join us Monday evenings at 7pm via Zoom as we pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy and pray for “mercy on us and on the whole world" and receive His mercy.
