New Program - Direct From Our Patron

We are excited to announce that MCG has added a new program to our mission. We are honored to be the stewards of the last monstrance blessed by our patron, Pope St. John Paul the Great! The JP2 Traveling Monstrance Program aims to bring people together in Eucharistic adoration to pray for vocations. This was the specific intention of JP2 when he commissioned its use, and we will adhere to his wish.

Check out our website, www.mobilesacristy.org, to learn more about the origins and significance of this monstrance! If a parish, ministry, or apostolate would like to secure the use of this monstrance to host a holy hour for vocations, they can do so via our website, and to register as well. We are humbled to care for this sacred vessel and keep this program alive after its 20 years of service to our church community.

Finally, our “Stock the Sacristy” matching campaign was a success! We want to recognize our matching partners: WI KofC State Council, Women of Christ, Pro Life WI, Ballpark Day of Faith, and Arise MKE. For everyone who donated towards this campaign, thank you! Thanks to your generosity, the mobile sacristy is now adequately stocked to meet the liturgical item needs of those we serve, after seven years of building its contents.
