The Blessing of Throats will be Friday, February 3rd after the 9:00 am Mass. St. Blaise, an Armenian Bishop, was martyred during the last great Roman persecution of Christians.  Legend tells, while in hiding, he healed a boy who had a fishbone stuck in his throat. After he was captured, the boy's mother brought him food and candles.  The practice of blessing of throats derives from this tale on St. Blaise's day.

Blood Drive

The Blood Center of Wisconsin would like to thank all Queen of Apostles' parishioners for donations to the last Blood Drive.  We had 38 donors and 36 units of blood.  We exceeded our objective of 32 units.  Way to go!  108 patient lives will be impacted/saved this week and next throug your altruism.

 We will soon be entering the season of Lent by preparing our ashes for Ash Wednesday on Tuesday, February 21st in the Parish Hall and celebrating in the spirit of Mardi Gras.  All are welcome to gather outside of Church to burn our blessed palm branches that have been in our homes since Palm Sunday last year.

Than it being "Fat" Tuesday we move inside to share a potluck meal.  The Preparation of Ashes begins at 6:00 pm, followed by the party.  RSVP to Ann at 691-1535 x 103 or Lynn at 691-2878 by Friday, February 17th.
