“...my soul thirsts for God, The Living God, when can I go & meet with God?" (Psalm 42:2) Come experience how the Word of God truly satisfies, enriches, and provides meaning to our everyday walk with Jesus. We will simply pray and share our faith using Lectio & Visio Divina. You don’t have to “know how” with this type of prayer. We will lead you. This prayer experience includes our “whole-self” as we read a Scripture passage, meditate, and pray over what the Holy Spirit is saying to you. Meditate and ponder your thoughts and feelings with God through The Word and holy images. We will meet Thursdays beginning September 5th from 1:30pm – 2:15pm in the Parish Office building. All adults are invited and welcome.

The parish has a group that meets monthly to make baptismal blankets and shoulder wraps for OCIA candidates to welcome them into our faith community.

They meet in the downstairs classroom of the Holy Angels School building every first Thursday, from 9am to 11:30am, and 6:30pm to 8:30pm. Yarn is provided.

Sisters in Christ continues to meet monthly on the 3rd Thursday of each month at 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the Chapel Room at St. Albert’s Church.

A great way to remember St. Wendelin Church is through pictures. A pictorial book was created by Stephanie Logue in 2015 and we decided to have it reprinted for those who would like to purchase the book as a memento. We are offering a limited number of St. Wendelin Church pictorial books for sale. The book contains pictures of both the outside and inside of the Church. There is everything from the crosses, cornerstone and steeple on the outside, to the furniture, pews, organ, pipes stained glass windows and stations of the cross on the inside. The pictorial book is a full color bound hard back book. The books can be purchased for $25.00 each at the Parish Office Monday through Friday 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. The proceeds from the sale of the books will go toward the construction of a new bell tower located at St Albert. The books will go fast and will make a great gift.
