Vernon County Health Department staff are currently working on identifying those that would like to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. They will be working with health care workers and long-term care staff/residents during the phase 1A administration. Once the state gives us approval to move to phase 1C, which may include those who are 65 years and older or have chronic health conditions, we will start contacting those interested in receiving vaccine. Those 65 years of age and older, or those with chronic health conditions are welcome to apply already. Please call Vernon County Health Department at 608-637-5251 or visit: https://form.jotform.com/210124014290134.

Religious Education Program
Due to lack of space for socially-distanced classrooms, we will be offering Wednesday evening Mass at 6 PM instead of RE classes. As events change, so will the plan. Masses may be tailored to grade levels, but everyone in the family is welcome. Masks are required unless exempted per Governor Evers' Emergency Order. RE Mass will also be offered on our Facebook page.
The Sacraments
God has chosen to save us not as individuals but as members of a community of faith. For this reason, the faithful who wish to receive the sacraments Baptism, First Communion, and Confirmation are to be registered members of St. Mary's Parish. ALL are welcome to attend services and celebrate the Eucharist at St. Mary's!
