Chancellor William Yallaly accepts national position with the Knights of Columbus
MADISON — After serving the Diocese of Madison in numerous and ever-evolving roles since 2007, William Yallaly, Chancellor of the Diocese of Madison, will be moving on to take the position of vice president and senior advisor for strategic initiatives for the Knights of Columbus, starting December 1.
Yallaly came to the Diocese of Madison in 2007, when he was appointed assistant to the bishop and associate director of communications.
He then went on to serve as executive advisor to the bishop, before being named chancellor in 2015.Apostolate for Persons with Disabilities virtual Advent and Christmas celebrations

Celebrating faith in action: an online event

Moving on with God at our side
I’m in sort of an odd position as I write this piece. Today is Monday, Nov. 2, the day before Election Day.
By the time most of you read this, it’ll be a day or two or more following Election Day.
You’ll know what happened on that night better than I do right now.
I can’t predict the future as much as I wish I could.

While praying Sunday for the 60,000 Americans who got ill from COVID-19 and the 339 who died I came to a realization.
We live in a time of many saints.
Some 1,320 U.S. health care workers have died while helping COVID patients deal with the disease, according to Kaiser Health News.CDMF continues to grow

If you don’t know that Election Day is on Tuesday, Nov. 3, I am slightly jealous of you. You’ve probably missed out on some of the craziness, negativity, and frustration that has been the 2020 campaign season.
It’ll all be over soon, right?
Other than perhaps the Super Bowl, I can’t think of an event still in existence, or with its peak effect, that creates as much national attention as the day when we learn who the president will be over the next four-year term.
Voting = power and a voice
Unlike the Super Bowl, we have a say in the results of Election Day.The truth and the divinity of Christ
I recently read a survey of Catholics which indicated a significant number of the respondents did not believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and is not divine.
We may rightfully distrust the full accuracy of surveys, yet this data point troubles me greatly.
If one does not affirm the divinity of Jesus, our entire Catholic faith is deceptive and illusory.
