MADISON -- Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan of Milwaukee urged a Madison audience, "Duc In Altum. Cast Out to the Deep."
He was not giving them a lesson in fishing. Or a lesson in Latin.
No, the archbishop was referring to the story of Jesus and his fishermen-apostles found in the fifth chapter of St. Luke's Gospel.
The fishermen had been fishing all night but caught nothing. Jesus tells them to cast out into the deep. Although they were skeptical, they did what he asked - and netted a huge catch of fish filling two boats.
"My message to you is simple but intimidating," said Archbishop Dolan. "Jesus is giving us the same injunction today: 'Duc In Altum. Cast Out to the Deep.'"

Imitating former President Bill Clinton, Bishop Morlino quipped, "Nothing would be better for my heart than to be with you this evening." Full story ...

Each "basket" included donated items such as rolls, potatoes, onions, apples, celery, carrots, and stuffing, plus a turkey, milk, cranberries, and a pie - everything needed to make a Thanksgiving dinner. Families in need picked up the Thanksgiving baskets at Luke House, which offers a community meal program. Full story ...
