Trustee Elections
Parish Trustee Positions
According to the Wisconsin State Statute regarding Parish Corporate Bylaws, each parish must hold a public election for the position of trustee. Before the election takes place registered parishioners are allowed to nominate candidates for the position. Therefore, I am opening the nomination process for the positions of Parish Trustee – Secretary. The trustees and I are the legal members of the parish corporation, along with the Archbishop.
John Gabaldo, who currently holds this position, has expressed a willingness to be nominated for another term. Other candidates for this position must be a practicing parish member and at least 25 years old. Each trustee serves a two-year term. As pastor, I am allowed to nominate a candidate. Additional candidates must be nominated by at least 10 active parishioners and submitted to me by Tuesday, June 30th. There are nomination forms in the west entrance of the church and by clicking HERE. On the weekend of July 4th & 5th the names of the nominees will be announced and on the following weekend, July 11th and 12th the election for this position will take place during the Mass. If you have a question regarding the nomination process, please do not hesitate to contact the parish office.

Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

Tri-Parish Coronavirus Outreach Program
It appears the Coronavirus pandemic will be affecting our daily life for quite some time. Some of us may find a lot of extra time on our hands while others may need extra assistance during this quarantine. This point in time provides an extraordinary opportunity for us to come together as Burlington area Catholics.
Members from your parish outreach committee will be calling to check on your wellbeing and to assess your needs. We will be able to provide help in the following ways:
- Weekly grocery services – help with ordering online, pickup and delivery
- On-call errand service for any immediate needs
- Neighborhood volunteers to check in on you
Although our volunteers will be concentrating on calling elderly parishioners over the age of 70, these services are open to any parishioner who is isolated in quarantine. This includes parents with young children at home or medically fragile members who do not want to leave their homes. Please do not hesitate to call if you would like help or know a fellow parishioner who may need some! If you would like to volunteer, please call your parish coronavirus outreach coordinator:
