Although he wasn’t there in person, Msgr. Thomas F. Campion was certainly there in spirit — and in the minds and hearts of so many of the disabled and elderly guests and the many volunteers at the annual Apostolate to the Handicapped Christmas Mass and Party held on Saturday, Dec. 4, at the Monroe High School gymnasium.

Citizens with disabilities need our advocacy
To the editor:
The Department of Health Services (DHS) has filed an application with the federal government to extend Wisconsin’s Family Care program.
Early estimates project that more than 10,000 people with severe disabilities could be forced from prevocational programs (because of changes to the program). The consequences for both those employed by the work centers and the success of these centers are drastic.
Please contact the governor and members of the legislature listed below and tell them to stop the DHS’s attempt to eliminate the option for citizens with disabilities’ to choose employment and remain employed at work centers.
