St. Anne’s will be selling roses after all Masses Mother’s Day weekend May 13/14. Please consider volunteering! Sign up here or contact Mary at 608-221-1926.

We have a large need for faith-filled adult chaperones (21 years or older) to accompany our high school students to Love Begins Here (LBH) 6/18-6/23 to St. Henry in Watertown. Currently, we do not have enough chaperones to allow all of our registered teens to attend! LBH provides youth with an opportunity to encounter Jesus through a week long, overnight mission trip where they live in Catholic community and serve together at a common host site in our diocese. LBH began right here in the Diocese of Madison. It encourages high school students to live a life of faith, fun, and service! Adults will need to be Virtus-trained prior. Please contact Rebekah at rscaperlanda@ihmparish.org as soon as possible!

Thank you again for another month of support of Luke House.  The need continues to be great. Please consider serving or donating food. The May Luke House is on Wed May 24. Please bring any food donations to the back door of the rectory (next to the rectory garage) between 7am and 3:30pm.  Historically, May is a difficult month for us to find a full roster of helpers to serve so if you have availability to serve, please do!  The volunteer & donation signup sheet can be found here.

This week’s issue focuses especially on topics related to Mother’s Day, with a special Senior/Retirement section filled with content geared specifically toward older adults. Sample issues can be found in the narthex. To subscribe please contact Jodi at the Parish Office at 608-221-1521 or ihmoffice@ihmparish.org.

Box Tops has changed over time. Now, to earn money for our school, download the app (Box Tops for Education) and scan your receipts within 14 days of purchase. A second option if you are unable to scan your own receipts, and they are from purchases in the past week, please drop them off in the usher’s room. There is a box that will be checked weekly by our Home School Association. For more instructions, visit: boxtops4education.com. For questions, email: ihmhsa@gmail.com.

The parish is in need of prizes for the Faith Formation summer programs serving our parish youth in grades PreK-6th grade. Donations can be dropped off at the Parish Office or ushers room and clearly labeled “prizes”.

Bring a lawn chair or a blanket and enjoy the beautiful voices of our school students (K-8th Grade) at their annual Spring Concert!

Transitional Diaconate Ordination Mass
The Transitional Diaconate Ordination Mass will take place at IHM on May 12 at 7pm. We are in need of volunteers, food donations and monetary donations for the reception that will follow!
