Catholic Multicultural Center
By Julianne Nornberg
CATHOLIC HERALD STAFF
MADISON -- The fund raising effort for the Catholic Multicultural Center has now reached a milestone of just over $2 million, reported Jay Conzemius, director of the Office of Stewardship and Development for the Diocese of Madison.
Contributing to this milestone was a recent $250,000 donation for the kitchen area from the Oscar Rennebohm Foundation in Madison. It was the largest individual gift so far during the 15-month fund raising campaign to reach a goal of $3.5 million.
Generous gift
The quarter-million-dollar gift is intended for the kitchen of the center, said Steven F. Skolaski, president of the Oscar Rennebohm Foundation. Full Story ...

Center board will strengthen outreach, service, personal witness of our diocese
By Bishop William H. Bullock
CATHOLIC HERALD PUBLISHER
The Church of the twenty-first century will be, as it has always been a Church of many cultures, languages and traditions, yet simultaneously one, as God is one - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - unity in Diversity (USCCB, Welcoming the Stranger Among Us: Unity in Diversity).
The new concept of our Catholic Multicultural Center is born out of the needs of the day. Many decades ago St. Martin House was designed to care for the African-Americans and Centro Guadalupano for Latinos. Emerging quickly are Asian populations. For example, recent census statistics show that statewide Asians number two percent of the total population and Hispanics four percent (of a total state population of nearly five million), while African-Americans comprise six percent and whites 89 percent. In Dane County, Asians, Hispanics, and African-Americans are about equal at three to four percent each.
We are building on the good record and provisions made by pioneers of years ago. We now need new pioneers to develop the multicultural concept prevalent today.
