Rosary Rally for traditional marriage to be held in Green Lake

GREEN LAKE — Join with others to pray the Rosary for traditional marriage on Saturday, March 18, at 12 noon at Deacon Mills Park sidewalk in Green Lake. Prayer handouts and Rosaries will be available.

Marriage in the eyes of God is between a man and a woman. This traditional idea of marriage and family needs attention and serious prayer.

St. Louis de Montfort stated in The Secret of the Rosary that, “Public prayer is far more powerful than private prayer to appease the anger of God and call down His mercy, and Holy Mother Church, guided by the Holy Ghost, has always advocated public prayer in times of public tragedy and suffering.”

2017 Annual Catholic Appeal


MADISON — As I say it for the Diocese of Madison, I invite every priest to do so for his parish, and every individual to say it for their home, “As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” This is Bishop Robert C. Morlino’s intent for the theme of this year’s Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA).

We can serve the Lord in many different ways. This year, we are challenged to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him in our households, in our parishes,­­ and throughout the diocese.

One way to encompass all three of these is to make a donation to this year’s ACA – your pledge will go to support many missions and works of mercy throughout the diocese. Below are just a few examples of some of the ministries supported by the ACA that allow you to Know, Love, and Serve the Lord.

To Know Him

Our increased love and service to the Lord begins with getting to know Him. The ACA helps support Catholic schools, religious education programs, and religious formation programs by educating disciples of all ages.

Your donations to the ACA allow the Diocese of Madison to provide funding for ministries that allow many in the diocese the ability to begin to know Him better and, in turn, to love Him more.
