Unlike traditional Bible studies, Discipleship Quads are small groups of four individuals who gather outside of the church setting to reflect on Sacred Scripture, deepen their relationship with Christ, and grow in intentional discipleship. Through prayer, faith-sharing, and mutual support, members encourage one another in living out the Catholic faith in daily life.

Quads may meet at times and locations that are most convenient for the members of each group.

For more information about Discipleship Quads, please contact our Director of Evangelization, Anne Auger, at [email protected].

John Puhr, a parishioner of St. Thérèse of Lisieux Parish, has compiled a valuable collection of recommended Catholic readings to assist parishioners in their ongoing faith formation and spiritual enrichment.

Summer Barn Talks are held annually from June through September in the rustic barn of the Dula family. These evenings provide an opportunity for parishioners and guests to gather in Christian fellowship, deepen their Catholic faith, and be renewed through authentic evangelization and inspiring conversation.

Dinner is served from 5:30–7:00 p.m., followed by a featured Catholic speaker at 7:00 p.m. After the presentation, guests are invited to remain for fellowship and community, typically continuing until 9:00 p.m.

The Dula family barn is located at:

W8525 Finch Brothers Road
Lake Mills, Wisconsin

The evening meal typically includes smoked pork butt, smoked brats, beer brats, hot dogs, and a variety of side dishes. Iced tea, water, and coffee are provided, and guests are welcome to bring additional beverages if desired.

A free-will offering is gratefully accepted to help offset food expenses.
