An Ecumenical Thanksgiving Prayer Service brings a large crowd
A large number of people from Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox Christian communities in the Madison area gathered together at Our Lady Queen of Peace Church in Madison for an Ecumenical Thanksgiving Prayer Service on the evening of November 21.
Christmas: More than December 25
For us Catholics, Christmas is a glorious season, not just a day. As the secular world throws out the Christmas trees on December 26 and Christmas music goes off the air at 12 midnight, we believers are just beginning to celebrate the Octave of Christmas and the days beyond.
Take time to see and live the Divine Life
The Madison Diocesan Eucharistic Congress (September 29, 2023, to October 1, 2023, at St. John the Baptist Parish in Waunakee) will take time to help expose a truth that staggers the mind and melts the soul.
Un nuevo yo: Virtudes marianas para el Nuevo Año 2023
¡Feliz Año Nuevo a todos mis hermanos hispanos/latinos de la Diócesis de Madison!
Christ often calls us in silence
Great art is often conceived, nourished, and born in silence. In the silence of a mother’s womb, God knits and fashions the exquisite limbs of a baby who mirrors his or her creator in unique ways.
What do we have to look forward to?
Soon it will be 12 midnight on a new January 1. Thousands, maybe millions of people who have no idea who Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians are will hear the performers’ rendition of “Auld Lang Syne” playing in the background of some sort of indoor or outdoor festivity.
The hidden side of the holidays
Right now, many of us are focused on the most joyous and magical time of the year. We’re buying presents, grocery shopping for holiday parties, scheduling time off from work and looking forward to time with family and friends.
Celebrating Christmas
It is almost Christmas, and a child is about to be born to us. The Child will be the Son of Mary and the Son of God. He will be named Jesus and will be the gift of a loving Father offered to us on the first Christmas.
The hope of Christmas
As we prepare to celebrate the wonder of Christmas once again, we often are flooded with glowing memories of Christmases past.
