St. John XXIII Catholic Church

Over the past few months, the St. John XXIII strategic planning team has focused on discerning needs and opportunities to address in development of a long-term plan for the Parish. The team has reviewed information and data provided by the Archdiocese, Catholic Leadership Institute and St. John XXIII staff. Meetings have been conducted with three Catholic Parishes in Southeastern Wisconsin to gain insights into best practices and serve as inspiration for future plan recommendations. From the learnings received, the team identified several key opportunity areas to be addressed in the next phase of planning. Detail on these specific areas will be provided in future updates.  In the current phase, the team is conducting formal discussions with Parish Leadership, administrative staff, volunteer group leaders and parishioners to understand current challenges and identify opportunities toward long-term growth as a Catholic, faith-filled community.

Look for regular updates on planning progress as we continue on this journey of spiritual renewal at St. John XXIII!

In our ongoing effort to well maintain all of the facilities used in connection with our ministries, work on
replacing the entryway doors to our St. Mary’s worship site began this past October 7. The first step
was to remove the decorative panels made for these doors in 1989. While beautiful in design, being
directly exposed to the outdoor elements for the past 32 years has led to significant deterioration.
Thankfully, we have been able to secure the services needed to have the panels remade, restoring them to
their original appearance.

While the replacement panels are being fabricated and we wait for the new doors to arrive, we have
reset the glass (which had been affixed to the panels) in the original doors. Please bear with the
resulting unsightly appearance knowing that new doors and panels are on their way and will hopefully
be installed prior to the Thanksgiving holiday.
