Welcome to St. Mary's Church
To Live by Faith, to be known by Love, and to be a Voice of Hope!
We the people of St. Mary's Catholic Church hold that because all men and women are created in God’s image and likeness and that the same divine teaching on how they should live is written in every human heart, all persons are to be treated with dignity and equality, each person having the same fundamental rights and responsibilities.
We hold that the Church’s mission, grounded in the Gospel, is to proclaim and show forth Jesus’ Good News of how to live a fully human life as images of God in individual and communal justice and love. We hold that the Church realizes this mission within the context of the laws which it enacts to foster and preserve the spirit of the Gospel and to assist its members as they endeavor to live in the love of God and neighbor.

Our week to host families with children who are experiencing homelessness begins next Sunday, May 18. Presently there are two families in the program.

If you are able to help in that way, fantastic! If you have questions, contact me (Bill) at 723-4990, or Peg Jonas, 723-2051.Read More -

After looking over St. Mary's Rectory roof and windows, St. Mary's Parish Council has decided to have the remaining 30 original 1949 rectory windows replaced this year. This project will cost approximately $51,000.00 and should be completed sometime later this summer or early fall. While there are some restricted maintenance funds that can be used toward the cost, St. Mary's Parish Council is hoping that generous people in our parish and pastorate will be able to help with this expense by making donations to ST. MARY'S RECTORY WINDOW PROJECT. Please contact St. Mary's Parish office at 608-994-2526 for more information.Read More

Thursday, May 15, 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
A Support Group for the Bereaved When a loved one dies, it can feel like you are alone. Few people understand the thoughts, feelings and the pain you are experiencing. This can lead to isolation, feelings of depression and extreme sadness and sorrow. All of these are normal. Yet, there is support through GriefShare. GriefShare is a 13 session support group for those who have experienced the loss of a loved one. A GriefShare session includes an informative video, discussion and sharing. It is said that “grief shared is grief diminished.” Our next GriefShare support group will begin on February 20, from 1:00 to 2:30 PM. We will meet in the St. Clement Parish office meeting room. Pre-registration is encouraged by going to: griefshare.org. There you can also find other GriefShare groups in the area (Platteville has one) if our time/dates do not work for you. Contact Bill Manthe (723-4990) or Marcia Hampton (732- 8849) for more information or if you have questions.Read More -
