Sixth in a series on the 75th anniversary of the Diocese of Madison
Since the Diocese of Madison was established in 1946, it has strived to meet the needs of members of the Church as well as all those in society through a variety of ministries.
As times have changed, programs and services have been added, dropped, or adapted to make the best use of time, faith, and resources.
Charitable programs
One of the most important programs begun by the new Diocese of Madison in 1946 was its charitable efforts conducted by the Catholic Welfare Bureau, later known as Catholic Social Service and then as Catholic Charities.
