MADISON — Last year, the Madison St. Vincent de Paul Youth Service Council (SVdP YSC), comprised of Dane County high school students from numerous parishes, designed, funded, and awarded its very own scholarship.

This year, the group is looking to repeat its efforts.

Understanding that not every family has the resources to support post-secondary education, the $1,000 scholarship is intended to assist a student who receives free/reduced lunch and desires to continue their education following graduation.

Lenten mission at St. John Vianney will feature Dr. Marcellino D’Ambrosio

JANESVILLE — As we enter into the season of Lent, many Catholics consider how to deepen their spiritual journey and go beyond simply “giving something up.”

To aid parishioners — and Catholics in the Diocese of Madison — St. John Vianney Parish in Janesville has invited Dr. Marcellino D’Ambrosio, better known as “Dr. Italy,” to come and speak for a one-night mission on Thursday, Feb. 22.

Dr. D’Ambrosio is a well-respected Catholic professor and speaker who has had several books on the New York Times best-seller list, hosted multiple TV series on EWTN, and been a frequent guest on a variety of Catholic radio shows, including Catholic Answers and The Catholic Connection.
