Congratulations to Landon Tokarski on being named as the Au Lac Council Youth of the Month for November!  Landon is the son of David and Dominica Tokarski and a 7th grade student at Anchor Bay Middle School South. He plays football as a tight end and defensive end and plays on the basketball team. Landon made the commitment to deepen his faith and grow closer to God by completing OCIA and receiving his sacraments.  Since then, he’s joined the Youth Ministry group and attended various pilgrimages. He can be found volunteering at events after Mass in the parish hall. We thank Landon for sharing his faith through service to his parish and community!
