​Welcome

Christ Our Hope is a cluster of six Catholic parishes in the Archdiocese of Dubuque in Northeast Iowa.  As our mission statement says, "The "Christ Our Hope" cluster offers meaningful, fulfilling, and varied avenues of worship, Catholic education, social service, and community life for all ages within our six parishes to support the active practice of Catholic Faith in all that we do."
​
While each parish in our cluster has its own unique history and traditions the parishes collaborate, sharing staff and resources for the benefit of each other. Rev. Nick Radloff serves as the pastor for the cluster.

​The 
parishes of Christ Our Hope are Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Little Turkey, Holy Trinity in Protivin, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in Lawler, St. John Nepomucene in Fort Atkinson, St. Luke in St. Lucas, and St. Mary in Waucoma.

You can email Fr. Radloff at dbq166@dbqarch.org or call the Christ Our Hope office at (563) 569-8259.


Until further notice, our parishes will take the following safety measures:
 - People should avoid mingling before/after gathering in church, and parishes will not host crowd activities, or events like funeral meals and wedding receptions.
 - Social distancing must be observed; that is, people are expected to keep their distance at 6 feet apart, though people in the same household may be closer together. You are also strongly encouraged to wear a mask while in the church.
  - Whenever possible, physical contact should be avoided. We will continue our practices prior to the pandemic of not greeting one another with a handshake, etc. prior to Mass, we will not hold hands during the Our Father, and the Sign of Peace will be omitted. A collection basket will be available at the back of the church on Sunday during the celebration of Holy Mass.
  - Holy water fonts will remain emptied or covered.
  - Missalettes/ song books will be removed from the pews to reduce common surfaces that people are touching. This will mean more simple music during Mass for a time.
  - We will have a minimal number of liturgical ministers, including no scheduled altar servers at this time, to allow for proper distancing as much as possible.
  - Only the Host will be offered at Communion time, and not the chalice. Receiving the Host on the tongue is discouraged, for sanitary reasons. Communion Ministers may wear a mask to distribute the Host, but not gloves, and they should sanitize their hands before/after distribution.

​Archbishop Jackels intends to continue to dispense Catholics from their obligation to attend Holy Mass, as he says, “probably until a vaccine is available.” If you find yourself in one of the following groups you are encouraged to remain at home and worship with us via livestream, for your health and the health of others:
- If you are sick, or have recently been sick, or have an underlying medical condition
- If you are frail due to advanced age
- If you are nervous about contracting COVID-19
- If you live with and/or care for someone sick, elderly, at risk, or with COVID-19
- If you work at or regularly visit high-risk situations, where there are COVID-19 cases
