Made with Love,

Because Love Saves Lives. Jefferson and Walworth County Wisconsin Right to

L!fe will be hosting a booth at the Wisconsin State

Right to L!fe convention in April. Here is an

opportunity for you to pitch in and use your creativity

to help save lives. We are looking for volunteers to

make baby items or contribute baby supplies. We are

looking for anything handmade such as knitted

sweaters, hats, mittens, booties, bibs, blankets,

washcloths, gowns or even hooded towels for babies.

We believe there are many talented people who can

share their gifts to benefit the babies. Please help us.

We will be collecting items from now until April 20th.

In the back of the church there will be a bin for

donations. All proceeds will be going to Wisconsin

Right to Life Education fund. Any questions please

call Laura Nevermann at 920-728-1051. Thank you

for your help.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS RAFFLE The Knights will be selling raffle tickets (see

posters on door entrances to church for more

information on drawing/prize information) after

masses at both St. Lawrence and St. John the Baptist .

This is the number one fund raiser for the Knights

and the largest $5.00 raffle in the state with $115,000

in prizes. We thank you dearly for your support.

Please join us for Living Stations – presented by our

Third Graders, on Friday, March 23 at 2:00 in the

school gym. This is a wonderful and prayerful way to

prepare for Holy Week.

Spring break for SJB is Holy Week. The school

office will be closed.

Please check our lost and found rack outside of the

School Office. There are many very nice items that

someone is missing! They will be donated to St.

Vincent DePaul soon!

Mark your calendar for Friday evening, April 20!

That is the date of the wine glass painting

gathering! For $25, you will receive two wine

glasses or 2 other beverage glasses, materials,

snacks, and lots of fun! Bring your own beverage

and enjoy a night of creative fun! Call Lori in the

office to reserve your spot – 674-5821 (This is an

adults-only evening.) You do NOT have to be

artistic or creative – just someone who enjoys a

fun time with others! Register a whole table!

Bring friends!

Please join us for All School Mass on Thursday, led

by our 6th and 1st grade students.

Jefferson County Right to Life will be

meeting at 144 West Garland Jefferson WI at 6:30

pm on March 19th. We would like to encourage
