In 1980, he applied to the Franciscan Friars of the Assumption BVM Province and attended St. Francis de Sales Seminary. He entered the novitiate and was invested with the Franciscan habit at St. Mary of the Angels, Green Bay, on August 28, 1981 and was ordained to the priesthood on June 1, 1991. Robert is survived by brothers Marv of LeCrescent, MN, Don (Sandy) of San Diego, CA, Ron (Theresa) of Marshfield, Wally (Joan) of Wisconsin Rapids, and sister Carol (Rick) Newman of Marshfield; nephew Fr. Brian Konopa, Diocese of La Crosse, many other nieces and nephews and the brothers of the Assumption BVM Province. Many of our parishioners remember the pleasant disposition of Fr.

Memorial Gifts At the death of a loved one, many choose in lieu of flowers to encourage friends and family to make a donation to a special charity or cause.

A Memorial Gift to our parish and school is a wonderful way to acknowledge the lives of our beloved dead with a gift of loving generosity to the church that has been such a spiritual home. Ms. Deanie Smith can discuss beautiful ways for you to remember your loved one. REMEMBER OUR LADY OF MERCY CHURCH AND SCHOOL IN YOUR LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT Since happiness is nothing else but the enjoyment of the Supreme Good, and the Supreme Good is above us, no one can be happy who does not rise above himself.

SAINT OF THE WEEK St. Rita of Cascia (1381-1457) FEAST DAY: May 22 Like Elizabeth Ann Seton, Rita of Cascia was a wife, mother, widow and member of a religious community. Her holiness was reflected in each phase of her life. Born at Roccaporena in central Italy, Rita wanted to become a nun but was pressured at a young age into marrying a harsh and cruel man. During her 18- year marriage, she bore and raised two sons. After her husband was killed in a brawl and her sons had died, Rita tried to join the Augustinian nuns in Cascia. Unsuccessful at first because she was a widow, Rita eventually succeeded. care for the sick nuns was especially loving. She also counseled lay people who came to her monastery. Beatified in 1626, Rita was not canonized until 1900. She has acquired the reputation, together with St. Jude, as a saint of impossible cases. Many people visit her tomb each year. Source: www.americancatholic.org Over the years, her austerity, prayerfulness and charity became legendary. When she developed wounds on her forehead, people quickly associated them with the wounds from Christ s crown of thorns. She meditated frequently on Christ s passion. Her 8 OUR LADY OF MERCY PARISH
