GriefShare Support Group Are you are suffering after the death of a spouse, child, family member, or friend? GriefShare is a special weekly support group with facilitated small group discussions, designed to give encouragement and to help you rebuild your life. You don’t have to go through the process alone. GriefShare is a revolving 13-week program in which you are welcome to start at any time. We are opening this support group up to the whole New Prague area and surrounding communities. Until further notice Griefshare will be held virtually by Zoom on Mondays, 6:00 - 7:00 pm Jan. 11th - April 5th. For more information or to register call MaryCarol at St. Wenceslaus Church 952-758-3225. Email: MaryCarol.Wolf@npcatholic.org

In the next few days, all households who have not made a campaign pledge will receive information and a commitment card for the Capital Campaign in the mail. Please review the information, think about and pray over your decision to make a commitment. We ask that you return the commitment card as soon as possible, but no later than Sunday, September 20. Thank you for your consideration to this important effort! We are excited to share that many have stepped forward already and the NPACC is on our way to reaching the campaign goals, but many gifts are still needed to realize our vision of maintaining and enhancing our three sites. St. Wenceslaus is also seeking to eliminate the parking lot debt and pay for city assessments.

Please prayerfully consider how you may help. Our parish still has bills to pay, i.e. utility bills, payroll, insurance, etc. At this time of social distancing, there are many ways to give:

Bevcomm will air Masses from the past weekend on Channel 6 Sundays at 8:30 am and 11:30 am and Wednesday at 4:00 pm for those who are homebound.

There are many people that may need a pastoral visit (hospitalized, homebound , nursing home, tragedy, illness or injury, financial concerns, mental health issues, and others). We would love to help! We are not always in the know about people in need; HIPPA Laws and people "being afraid to ask for help" can prevent us from being our church community presence to those in need. Please, if you or someone you know might be in need of a visit or phone call, let us know.
