Have you ever wanted to make a difference in a young person's life? If so, Global Outreach, a Catholic student exchange program is the chance in a lifetime. Our students from five countries, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, and Slovakia, study in U.S. Catholic high schools during their junior year and return to their countries to make a difference in their schools, in the Church, and in their society. We hope that next year we will be able to send students to Pacelli High School again, but this can only happen if host families can be found for the students. Please open the door of your home and heart to a wonderful young person who will not only bring something special to the school, but also to your home. Students arrive in early August 2018 and return around June 15, 2019. Testimonials can be found athttps://globaloutreachprogram.com/. To learn more please contact Barbara TotaBoryczka, Executive Director, at (920) 540-3085 or email at [email protected] or contact Fr. Larry Seidl, Spiritual Director, at (920) 412-0320 or email at [email protected].

On Wednesday, April 18th the UWSP Opera Workshop production of SUOR ANGELICA by Puccini will be held in the convent chapel at 1pm. The production will last approximately an hour with a short Q and A afterward. All are welcome to come and enjoy the show. The SUOR ANGELICA is an opera traditionally sung in Italian, "this version is in English"is a one act opera by Giacomo Puccini, about traditional life at the convent. During the opera the nuns discuss their desires. While the Monitor believes that any desire at all is wrong, Sister Genevieve confesses that she wishes to see lambs again because she used to be a shepherdess when she was a girl, and Sister Dolcina wishes for something good to eat. Sister Angelica claims to have no desires, but as soon as she says so, the nuns begin gossiping ? Sister Angelica has lied, because her true desire is to hear from her wealthy, noble family, whom she has not heard from in seven years. Rumors are that she was sent to the convent in punishment. Vit er bo Cor e A five-day summer, residential program for rising 10th, 11th, and 12th grade students which offers education, reflection, and experience on Catholic Social Teaching themes and principles using St. Francis of Assisi as a model for action.
