Information

​

We are in need of liturgical ministers to fill our liturgical roles.  Call the church office, 563-870-4041, if you can share your talent(s) with the Pastorate.

​

Weddings: Contact Fr. Diehm (563-870-4041) at least one year in advance of planning a wedding.

​

Baptisms: We are now scheduling August (1 couple left) and September classes (May & June are full and no July class).   Contact Jim or Cindy Roberts (563-870-4428) before planning or setting a Baptism date.  Due to the high number of Baptisms in the Pastorate, classes fill quickly so allow several months to be scheduled into a class. All parents planning a Baptism need attend a Baptism class.  Baptisms typically do not take place during Advent or Lent.
