Annual Catholic Appeal gives back
When the Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA) began in 2009, the Diocese of Madison had hopes of being able to give back to diocesan parishes and parish schools through grants from the funds received over the goal amount.
The 2015 ACA was the first year this reality came to fruition, and now again with the 2017 ACA surpassing its goal, grants were able to be enacted.

PLATTEVILLE — It’s not uncommon for people helping college-aged young adults to say, “Our goal is to have people find out who they are.”
When those words come from a property management president like Bill Levy from BMOC, Inc., you know there is something special he’s talking about.
The “something special” is Newman Heights, a recently opened 144-bed student housing complex near the University of Wisconsin (UW)-Platteville campus and adjacent to St. Augustine University Parish.
Need for housing
St. Augustine Parochial Administrator Fr. John Del Priore, SJS, said the project began after he talked with UW-Platteville students who expressed a “need for a place they felt safe, a place they could flourish as Catholic students.”
He said they weren’t “comfortable” in other housing options they had on or near campus.
The eventual plan was to buy four houses that were on the same block as St. Augustine Church and then raze them, making way for a new student housing complex.
Tri North Builders in Fitchburg was contracted to design the building, made of stone, “done in a Gothic style,” said Architect Steve Harms.
“When you see it, it’s like wow,” Harms added.
Levy said a sense of “freedom” would exist at Newman Heights.
“The beautiful thing is that freedom to be able to really kind of be who you are and feel like you have the freedom
to be who you are, and you’re not going to be judged,” he said.

Saint Cecilia Parish in Wisconsin Dells to host ‘Find Your Greatness’ event
WISCONSIN DELLS — What if each day, every Catholic prayed 10 minutes and read five pages of a great Catholic book?
What if every Catholic gave one percent more of their income to their Church this year and did one thing each week to intentionally share God’s message with others?
