Many parents and grandparents like myself are afraid of shootings happening in their children’s and grandchildren’s schools.
In fact, a recent study from Ball State University of parents’ expectations found that about 36 percent of respondents believed that their local high school was highly likely to have a gun incident in the next three years.
MADISON — El año 2019 marca el aniversario de los 10 años de nuestro Instituto Diocesano Seat of Wisdom.
En el 2009, la oficina de Evangelización y Catequesis respondió a las instrucciones de los obispos en Wisconsin de asegurar la formación de catequistas y adultos en la Diócesis de Madison y de todo nuestro estado.
Por 10 años Seat of Wisdom ha sido una oportunidad para adultos interesados junto con el personal parroquiano de catequesis, catequistas parroquianos y el cuerpo docente de escuelas católicas de recibir una presentación sistemática y comprensiva de la fe basada en el Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica.
Los cursos incluyen: Sagrada Escritura, Credo, Sacramentos, Moralidad, Oración, Evangelización y Catequesis, junto con docenas de cursos avanzados en varios temas. Miles de individuos han sido inspirados e instruidos a través de tareas de curso y testimonio ofrecido por el personal dinámico empleado para enseñar en Seat of Wisdom en los últimos 10 años.

MADISON — In a letter written by Bishop Robert C. Morlino to the people of the Diocese of Madison regarding the ongoing sexual abuse scandal in the Church, he called all within the diocese to intensify their prayer and fasting for purification from this heinous sin.
Masses of reparation are being held throughout the diocese on September 14, the Feast of the Holy Cross.
Bishop Morlino will preside at the 12 noon Mass on Friday, Sept. 14, in the chapel at Holy Name Heights.
The bishop also invited people to observe the Au- tumn Ember Days (September 19, 21, and 22) “as days of fasting and abstinence in reparation for the sins and outrages committed by members of the clergy and episcopacy.”
Reparation occurs when one makes amends for a wrong done, especially through sin. One can see that the word “repair” is closely linked to “reparation.”
When Jesus died on the Cross, he “offered his life out of love for the Father to make reparation for our sinful disobedience” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, p. 897).
His saving life, death, and resurrection repaired humanity’s relationship with God, lost by the sin of Adam and Eve.
When we offend God, we make amends by going to Confession and doing penance. We also can ask God fervently for mercy on others who may offend God.

Hey everybody, this is Bishop Barron. I wanted to speak to you again about this terrible crisis we’re passing through in the Church, this crisis of sexual abuse and the countenancing of it by some bishops.
I know I spoke to you a couple of days ago. But what’s been striking me recently is the number of people who seem to be calling for the abandonment of the Church: “Because of this crisis, it’s time for us to leave the Church. We’ve simply had enough.”
