This past Monday, the church of Milwaukee lost one of it’s pillars, Fr. Tom Venne. While many of us here at St. Anthony on the Lake remember him as our beloved pastor from 1994 2004, his life as a servant leader to this Archdiocese, goes well beyond his 10 years here. What follows is the “Curriculum Vitae” or “Course of Life” for Fr. Tom Venne, that was released from our Chancery this past week. It is my hope that as you review it, you will realize the full scope of his ministry. With hope in the Resurrection, we commend to the Lord, Reverend Russell Thomas Venne, who died on Monday, June 15, 2026, at the age of 90.
Born on January 31, 1936, in Racine, Wisconsin. Father began his priestly formation at St. Francis Minor Seminary in St. Francis from 1956 – 1958, and the Pontifical North American College in Rome from 1958 –1962. Father was ordained to the priesthood by the Most Reverend Martin J. O’Connor on December 20, 1961, at St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City, Rome.
on August 23, 1994. He retired from active ministry on June 30, 2004.
Fr. Tom’s accomplishments here at St. Anthony on the Lake are equally impressive:
• He hosted neighborhood listening sessions with the hope of finding out the needs of the parishioners.
• He raised the money, designed, built, and dedicated our beautiful house of worship in 1999.
• He forged the twinning relationship with our sister parish, Santisimo Sacramento, in Piura, Peru.
• He hired Dr. Kathie Amidei and in turn supported our Life-long Faith Formation program.
Father Venne was first assigned on August 29, 1962, as Assistant at St. Kilian Parish in Hartford. He was appointed Associate Pastor at St. Mary Parish in Elm Grove on June 17, 1969. On August 21, 1973, he was assigned as Pastoral Team Member at St. Agnes Parish in Milwaukee. He was appointed Administrator and Pastoral Team Member at St. Agnes in Milwaukee on June 14, 1977. Father was appointed President at St. Francis de Sales College in Milwaukee and Administrator of DeSales Complex in St Francis on July 1, 1981. Father was assigned as Pastor at St. Philip Neri Parish in Milwaukee on July 13, 1982. On June 26, 1990, he was appointed Pastor at Holy Trinity Parish in Kewaskum with the Mission of St. Bridget in Wayne. On September 25, 1991, he was appointed Vicar for Clergy Personnel of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. Father was assigned as Pastor at St. Anthony Parish in Pewaukee
• He initiated and led many of our youth mission trips. He visited the homes of each First Communicant.
On a personal basis, I will always remember Fr. Tom for his pastoral presence, his visionary leadership, his homilies with his “props in the bag,” and his ability to remember everybody’s name. He taught me how to age gracefully, humbly, and gratefully. I will always be grateful for the strong foundation he laid for me to follow in his footsteps. He will be missed by many. Rest in peace good and faithful servant.
His Mass of Christian Burial will be here at St. Anthony on the Lake on Thursday, July 9 at 11 am with Bishop Jeff Haines preaching and presiding.
Summer is a time when many of us are away for the weekends, or extended periods of time. If you are scheduled on a weekend that you know you will be unable to serve, please go into MySAL and decline the position. If you are not scheduled for a particular weekend, please consider checking the schedule and volunteer where needed. This will help ensure that all jobs are covered every weekend, and help our liturgies run smoothly.

“Romance is a process it's not an event. It's not a one-time thing. It's not something that's 'accomplished' and then forgotten. In order to work, it's got to be an ongoing thing a part of the very fabric of your daily life."
(Gregory J. P. Godek, 1001 Ways to Be Romantic) Think of one romantic way you can express your love for your spouse today. Do it.

St. Anthony’s Peace Sculpture Display in the Gathering Space
Matthew 5:9, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God."
The theme of being a peacemaker was woven into every aspect of this year’s Bible Camp. The 4 th and 5 th graders learned that an origami paper crane is one symbol of peace. They researched the Children’s Peace Monument in Hiroshima, Japan, which is dedicated to a young girl who began folding 1,000 paper cranes. Others then learned to make their own origami cranes.
The younger children learned the dove is also a symbol of peace. They painted paper doves with watercolors. The doves were then strung with the cranes to create our St. Anthony’s Peace Sculpture .
Beginning mid to late July, Waukesha County will be performing road repair on Highway SS from 500 feet north of Golf Road to Highway G. The work is expected to take two to three weeks.
The road will be OPEN to the public traveling to St. Anthony on the Lake. Watch our website and bulletin for more details.
For June we’ve highlighted books on some basics of our Catholic Faith, including the Most Holy Trinity and Corpus Christi. You’ll also find books about why it’s great to be Catholic, and Catholic Traditions from our Parish Library!
These books, and all those in our Parish Library (found in the room off Fellowship Hall) are available to check out; instructions are on the shelves. We also have bags with multiple copies of books – perfect
for a book club. Check out a book club bag, share them with friends and tell us about your discussion. Want to browse our books from the comfort of home? Our catalog is available online! Visit https:// tinyurl.com/sal -library or scan the QR code.
A friend of the parish who has a second home on Pewaukee Lake has decided to part ways with their 22 -foot McGregor sailboat. If not for being “up there in years,” they would be sailing it themselves. They are offering the boat to an interested parishioner in exchange for a donation to St. Anthony on the Lake.
It is in fine shape and includes everything, trailer, sails, etc. If you are interested, email Fr. Tony at zimmera@stanthony.cc
All are welcome. To register or learn more call Sandy Mayernick at (262) 968 -4422 or Pam Weiss at (262) 282 -1197. Program supported by Pagenkopf Funeral Home, Oconomowoc.
