Feasibility study: Parishioners give input
on diocesan priorities
By Mary C. Uhler
CATHOLIC HERALD STAFF
MADISON -- Some 70,000 households throughout the Diocese of Madison will be asked to give their input on determining potential funding for various diocesan projects, including the building of a cathedral.
Members of parishes will receive a Feasibility Study packet this weekend, November 10 and
11. The packet contains a letter from Bishop Robert C. Morlino and a survey form, which will be distributed after Masses at all parishes.
In his letter, Bishop Morlino points out that the Diocese of Madison has engaged the services of Phoenix Fundraising Counsel, Ltd., of Madison to conduct the Feasibility Study "to help us determine the ways and means of funding various diocesan projects, including the building of a Cathedral."
Phoenix, headed by John Richert, has previously worked on fund-raising campaigns in a number of parishes in the diocese.
"The purpose of the survey is to allow the entire diocesan family to be part of the process toward helping identify the needs and establishing support for a variety of diocesan projects," said Chad McEachern, director of the diocesan Office of Stewardship and Development." Full story ...

Project Rachel:
Healing for all who have experienced abortion
By Kat Wagner
CATHOLIC HERALD STAFF
MADISON -- Project Rachel is the abortion-healing outreach of the Catholic Church, started in Milwaukee in 1984 and since spread across the nation and the world.
At training sessions men and women called to the mission learn to recognize signs of abortion wounds and find a way to help those who have experienced abortion find healing.
At a recent session at the Bishop O'Connor Center (one for laypersons and another for priests), Vicky Thorn, the national executive director of Project Rachel (an organization based in Milwaukee), delved into the effects of abortion - biochemical, psychological, and spiritual.
Thorn has been to Madison to help train before, but newer this year, alongside the training for helping newly aborted women and a look at Generation Y and abortion, was a glimpse into what to expect when a man seeks support - a less common occurrence than with their counterparts.
"We've always talked about men; we've always heard from men," Thorn said, but more often it's a hidden grief.
In the article "The Effects of Abortion on Men," Dr. Vincent M. Rue writes that men do grieve after abortion, but they deny or internalize that grief. If they do express it, they use anger, aggressiveness, or control - more seemingly "masculine" ways.
"Because of this," Rue wrote, "men's requests for help may often go unrecognized and unheeded by those around them."
Thorn related several instances in which a man called, sometimes under the pretense of seeking help for a girlfriend, but in actuality asking for help to heal.
"When he calls, make him own who he is," she said.
