You can be the hands of Jesus by providing Mercy Mats to the homeless through the MacCanon Brown Homeless Sanctuary. If interested in learning more about this ministry, we are offering sessions two times per month to gather in fellowship and have fun making a Mercy Mat with others. Many hands are needed to create these mats made out of plastic grocery bags. We are looking for people to help cut strips of plastic, loop and roll into balls of 'plarn". We also need people who can crochet the plarn into a mat. Consider joining us and we will show you how. For more information, please contact Kris Kodaski at kkodaski@aol.com.

The Spiritual Adoption Prayer program will be celebrated at Holy Apostles Parish from August 2023 through May 2024! Since we are a prayerful community, the Respect Life Committee humbly asks you to pray this simple prayer, written by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, for an unborn child of God:

"Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much! I beg you to spare the life of baby, (insert the name you have given your spiritually adopted baby), the unborn baby that I have spiritually adopted, who is in danger of abortion."

Please pray this simple prayer every day for nine months. Prayer cards are available in the Welcome Center on an easel with beautiful illustrations of the infant in the womb.

Baptism Preparation Classes are held once a month from 9:00 - 11:00 am on a Saturday. Godparents are encouraged to attend as well. ​If you would like to celebrate a Baptism at Holy Apostles Parish, please contact Jan Fredrickson at jfredrickson@hanb.org or (262) 754-0158 for more information.
