MADISON -- The Diocese of Madison's new Catholic Multicultural Center opened its doors to the staffs of St. Martin House and Centro Guadalupano on Nov. 25.
The new 25,000-square-foot building at 1862 Beld St. replaces the old building that housed St. Martin House, which runs a meal program, and Centro Guadalupano, which offers services and resources to Hispanic people. The new center will be an outreach to the Asian community as well.

Bishop William H. Bullock was there to offer a blessing of the center and those who will use it. Full Story ...
