Ask any teen who attends Frassati Fest every year. They will tell you one of the most memorable parts of the weekend is the water park, but there’s more — so much more.

STOUGHTON — “Our Faith Stories” will feature Doug and Mary Crandall on Sunday, Jan. 17, at 6:30 p.m. in Healy Hall at St. Ann Parish.
Doug and Mary have a beautiful story of not only extreme faith, but also of Christian generosity and love.
Mary was an organ donor, which required much prayer and discernment.
In the wake of terrorist attacks and violence happening in the United States and other parts of the world, Americans find themselves fearful and wary about what might happen next.
The recent events in San Bernardino, Calif., where a married couple killed 14 people at a holiday party, have especially left us shaken and wondering how to deal with the possibility of terrorists living within our own communities.
This column is the bishop’s communication with the faithful of the Diocese of Madison. Any wider circulation reaches beyond the intention of the bishop. |
Dear Friends,
Thanksgiving is at the heart of what we do and who we are as a faithful Catholic people.
And so, while there is a great deal to be terribly concerned about in our world, in our nation, and in our own part of the country, there is also a great deal for which we each can offer our thanks to God — which is the origin and the reason for the holiday that is upon us.
On a personal level, I have a great deal for which to be thankful.
In terms of my friends and those with whom I am blessed to serve, I am just that — terribly blessed. Thanks be to God, it’s been another year of good health, and for that too, I cannot fail to be thankful.

MADISON — The Seat of Wisdom Diocesan Institute is a program in the Diocese of Madison that offers interested adults an opportunity to come and learn more about the Catholic faith in a systematic and comprehensive manner.

Beginning this month, we have a new schedule of courses available at the Bishop O’Connor Center along with coursework available in various locations around the Diocese.
St. Ann Parish will present “Our Faith Stories” on Sunday, Sept. 27, at 6:30 p.m. …
Work is part of everyone’s life, whether it’s paid or unpaid. Yet how often do we think about how we witness to our faith through our work?
As the editor of a Catholic newspaper, I have more opportunity than others to integrate my work with my faith. But it is still a challenge to keep a faith perspective in every aspect of my work.
For some insights on this topic, I recalled a statement made by the state’s bishops in 2001. It is called Making Wisconsin Work Well: A Labor Day Challenge by Wisconsin’s Roman Catholic Bishops (still available on the Wisconsin Catholic Conference website at www.wisconsincatholic.org and well worth another look).
