OSHKOSH — Madison-area men seeking to enhance their Lenten experience will get to make a weekend silent retreat at the newly renovated Jesuit Retreat House overlooking Lake Winnebago.
It’s a rare chance to spend time with God in prayer, surrounded by the beauty, peace, and solitude of nature.
“What God reveals in Scripture is the love in which we are created, the love that sustains us, and the love in which we will rest,” said Fr. Chris Manahan, Retreat House director.
MADISON — Recently, parish catechetical leaders from the Diocese of Madison honored the hard work and dedication of Becky Thompson of St. Joseph, Baraboo.
Thompson received the Jack McBride Leadership in Ministry Award. The Madison Diocese Religious Educator’s Organization (MDREO) presented the award at the Catechetical Convocation at the Bishop O’Connor Center in Madison.

Home Health United (HHU)-Janesville would like to thank everyone who went above and beyond in answering our call for help for donations of lap blankets for our hospice patients.
As of now, Janesville and its surrounding communities have donated more than 100 lap blankets for our hospice patients. We have received so many blankets the office is overflowing!
To the editor:
In the January 28 issue of the Catholic Herald, a letter from Paul Richgels accuses Pope Francis of falsely interpreting Scripture when our successor of Peter said all people are children of the same God.
Ex 1:27 says, “God created man in his image, in the divine image he created him, male and female he created him.”
There are not two kinds of people: those created by God and those who are not. God created all of us as his children and loved us so much that he gave us the free will to choose to reciprocate his love!
