Parish Staff Day: 'Mass is best thing we can do to save world'
By Julianne Nornberg
CATHOLIC HERALD STAFF
MADISON -- Mass is the best thing we can do to save the world, Bishop Robert C. Morlino told nearly 225 participants at Parish Staff Day.
Sponsored by the Diocese of Madison's Office of Pastoral Services, the special day was
held March 18 at the Bishop O'Connor Catholic Pastoral Center.
It began with morning prayer at which Bishop Morlino presided. During the service, the bishop asked participants to pause in remembrance of Joe Zaiman, a science teacher from Edgewood High School in Madison who was killed in a car accident the day before.
Response to God
During his keynote address entitled "How Does the Church Serve and Save the World?", Bishop Morlino said, "The Mass is the work of the people in response to God. The Liturgy is not magic. It is a reaching out by the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, to which we respond."
The bishop described the importance of the parts of the Mass. For example, when we sign ourselves in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, we must be mindful of what an important action that is. Full story ...

Ensuring safe environment
By Julianne Nornberg
CATHOLIC HERALD STAFF
MADISON -- Parish Staff Day workshops offered information regarding the Diocese of Madison's Policy Regarding Abuse of Minors, Sexual Misconduct, and Sexual Harassment as well as VIRTUSTM and the Protecting God's Children Program.
Keep goal in mind
Msgr. Paul J. Swain, vicar general, said, "We need to keep in mind our goal and purpose: to ensure a safe environment for all."
He said the Policy Regarding Abuse of Minors, Sexual Misconduct, and Sexual Harassment will be distributed in booklet form to parishes in the near future. Anyone who has access to children at the parish will have to sign a form indicating he or she has read and will follow the policy booklet. Pastors will then keep these forms on file.
"If a person refuses to do that, they are saying they can't be employed by or volunteer for the church," said Monsignor Swain. Full story ...
