Rev. Msgr. James Bartylla, Vicar General, announces the following appointments made by Most Reverend Robert C. Morlino, Bishop of Madison:
City approves request to expand enrollment at St. Ambrose Academy
The City of Madison Plan Commission has approved a request by St. Ambrose Academy to teach as many as 140 students in the education wing of St. Thomas Aquinas Parish at 602 Everglade Dr.
Schools study implementation: Here we go!
After many months of hard work on the part of hundreds of the faithful throughout the diocese, Bishop Morlino has put forth a strategic plan for addressing the challenges that face our Catholic schools.
This plan forms a foundation or structure for planning our work over the next several years. The natural question that follows something like this is, “How are we going to do this?”
Statue honoring Msgr. Campion to be unveiled in Monroe
On Sunday, June 6, a statue recognizing Msgr. Thomas F. Campion, founder and director of the Apostolate to the Handicapped in the Diocese of Madison, will be unveiled and blessed by Bishop William H. Bullock, bishop emeritus, in a 2 p.m. ceremony in the courtyard of St. Victor Church in Monroe.
As part of the celebration of St. Victor’s 150th anniversary, the statue honors an important part of the parish’s life for nearly 40 years. Monsignor Campion brought the Apostolate to the Handicapped with him in 1971, when he came to Monroe. The priest served as chaplain at St. Clare Hospital and the Monroe Clinic for many years along with directing the Apostolate.
Unhappy birthday to the Pill
“The Church can’t tell ME how to use my body.” Ever hear that?
I can’t even count the number of women who have remarked how lucky I am to be a stay-at-home mother. Another thing I can’t count is the number of women who say they wish they could afford to have more children.
