This is the parish I got married at! Now we live just south in Fond du Lac. The parish here (Holy Family) just opened a warming shelter here and its been amazingly well received by the community. Another potential lead for a story!

Ben,

We were married in Fond du Lac and then moved to Oshkosh. We're out of state now, but are so proud of what the Catholic parishes in our "hometowns" are doing for these communities. Blessings all around!

I was reading this and thought “there’s a big need for this here.” Followed by “what am I doing about it?” This article speaks to my own lack of corporal works of mercy. Great article and reminder to us all!

“Finally he said, ‘Can I get some church envelopes? I want them to know that I belong here.’”

Well, that hits hard. God bless these men and women, both guests and staff. What an awesome piece about a inspiring community.
