Human Concerns Coordinator
Our Human Concerns outreach at the parish supports our five “Partners in Mercy,” as well as many other ministries. Here are a few ways we do that:
Family Promise of Waukesha – Providing meals or groceries to clients that are temporarily living in apartments to avoid homelessness.
MacCanon Brown Homeless Sanctuary – Providing bedding, towels, clothing for adults, household items, etc. as well as volunteering at the Sanctuary.
People’s Table – Milwaukee – Stocking and providing food at the pantry for area residents in need.
Santisimo Sacramento – our Sister Parish in Peru –Supporting a family in the Family to Family program, financial help to the parish in many ways, or visiting during Peru mission trips.
St. Vincent de Paul – Donations collected in the donation bin in the North parking lot or financial help.
Upcoming campaigns that we will be supporting this Spring into Fall are:
Lake Country Caring – During the month of May we will have an “Undie 500” campaign. Donations of underwear for men, women, and children will be accepted in the Gathering Space.
Garden of Hope – We are looking for volunteers to help in our “Garden of Hope.” You may sign up as an individual, family, or as a group. Service is for one week to plant, water, weed and harvest. For more information, a tour of the garden, or to sign up for a week this summer, contact Kathy Waters at szowat@wi.rr.com
St. Vincent de Paul – A week in July we will collect nonperishable food (snacks) to pack a week’s worth of lunches for the children in need in Waukesha. The early part of July we will also collect back to school supplies during our “Back to School” campaign.
“This is the fasting that I wish…setting free the oppressed, sharing your bread with the hungry, sheltering the homeless, clothing the naked, and not turning your back on your own. Then your light shall break forth like the dawn…”
-from Isaiah 58:6 -8

That everyone might have food. Let us pray that everyone, from large producers to small consumers, be committed to avoid wasting food, and to ensure that everyone has access to quality food.
“Try praising your wife, even if it does frighten her at first.” (Billy Sunday)
A complement carries more weight if it’s specific and true. Make it a daily habit to look for something to praise about your partner. This works with kids too.

We have all been very productive in our Music Classes! 2026 began with detailed preparation for our Opera for the Young performance of Donizetti's "Elixir of Love." Our production was set in the Wild West, and 18 students volunteered to be part of the on -stage chorus, memorizing lines, wearing costumes, and performing with a professional opera company. The rest of the St. Anthony students learned the chorus parts and sang from the audience on performance day. The whole school donned their best western duds, and greeted the main characters with a hearty, "Howdy, Miss Addy! Mornin', Miss Addy!" As Winter changed to Spring, we began to look ahead to our May concert. Our theme is "From Sea to Shining Sea: Celebrating America's Semiquincentennial," America's 250th Birthday! We are featuring well -known favorites from our nation's varied regions and favorite patriotic songs. Some highlights include performing "America the Beautiful," in sign language as a whole school, our kindergartners singing about our Shenandoah Valley, Grades 1, 2, and 3 celebrating the Erie Canal, our 4th and 5th graders commemorating Route 66 (also its 100th Birthday), and the Middle Schoolers presenting The Preamble to our Constitution. We are rehearsing "Dona Nobis Pacem," in canon, with grades 1-8, as a prayer of peace and thanksgiving, for God's grace on us all and our country. We will include a few numbers with Orff instruments and ukuleles, and we will be accompanied by our very own Mr. Vincent LaTona, and distinguished string players,
