"We want to welcome Bishop Morlino as St. James celebrates its centennial," said Msgr. Tom Baxter, pastor. "Bishop, you honor us with your presence."

He also welcomed the concelebrating priests, all of whom served at St. James Parish over the years as a priest or deacon: Msgr. Delbert Schmelzer; Fr. Kevin Dooley; Fr. Wilfred Schuster; Msgr. Dan Ganshert; Msgr. Terry Connors; Msgr. William DeBock; Fr. Jim Murphy; and Fr. Mike Resop.

MADISON -- Bishop Robert C. Morlino has announced that Andy Russell has been named the new administrator of the Diocese of Madison's Catholic Multicultural Center located at 1862 Beld St. in Madison.

Russell has been house director of the Ronald McDonald House in Madison for the past three years. He has been a volunteer at the Multicultural Center since 1999, where he has taught English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, helped with the food pantry, and assisted with maintenance. "I've helped with anything they needed done," he said.

He will be working with both Centro Guadalupano and St. Martin House, the programs housed in the Multicultural Center. "They are both great programs," said Russell. "It's a beautiful new building but we need people to make this tool useful. We hope to take both Centro Guadalupano and St. Martin House to a new level in serving the communities they serve. I am excited to work with Steve Maurice and Antonio Quintanilla and others involved with these programs."   Full story ...
