“Seeing the need in our community has just been overwhelming,” Rickert said. “People are homeless or in transition. They’re in need of a little extra. Food sources are getting cut, housing is getting cut. Families are having to choose — pay our rent, buy our food, or get our kids a Christmas gift.”

St. Thomas More Parish in Appleton holds an annual community celebration to support those who may be experiencing homelessness or encountering difficulties during the holiday season.

Champion, Wisconsin is the only Church-approved apparition in the United States. Bishop Ricken just celebrated Mass at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion for the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary this past Monday, December 8th.

We are sad to announce the passing of Sr. Jean Phillipson, 99, who died on last Thursday, December 4, 2025, at Holy Family Convent in Manitowoc. Sr. Jean, a Franciscan Sister of Christian Charity, was known for her teaching ministries at different Catholic schools in Wisconsin and Ohio.

The funeral Mass will be held at Holy Family Convent with burial to follow at Holy Family Convent Cemetery on Tuesday, December 9, 2025. Fr. Placid Stroik, OFM, will be the main celebrant.

We join in pray with Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity for the repose of the soul of Sr. Jean.

"Thin, wispy clouds overhead are underlit with soft pinks and purples that spread the hues of sunset across the full sky — north to south and west to east — as if in a blessing to all who pause and gaze upon it in wonder. Sunset is a celebration that God has come to his people."
