Devoting ourselves fully to Lent
This Lent, the Lord wants to lead you into the wilderness of your own heart, to speak His tender love to you, to heal your wounds and forgive your sins, to renew your identity as a beloved child of the Father, and to reinvigorate your sense of mission and vocation.
Making an impact at HOME
At the Catholic Diocese of Madison Foundation (CDMF), among the most rewarding activities we do is providing grants to help various good and worthy causes. These grants support a broad range of activities such as helping with school tuition, supporting the homeless, and funding crisis pregnancy centers throughout the Diocese of Madison. Causes such as these are at the heart of our mission here at the CDMF, as we seek to spread Jesus’ message of love throughout the diocese.
Putting ourselves into Lent
Welcome to Lent, everyone. Welcome to 40-plus days (actual number dependent upon how you handle Sundays, solemnities, and so on) of prayer, fasting, almsgiving, “giving up” things, and not eating meat on certain days.

From Go Make Disciples to disciplemakers
Following Christ’s model of making disciples, the structure of Go Make Disciples was to have each parish start with a small core group, “The 12,” and then with the help of these disciples, reach a larger group, “The 72”.
The goal is to continue this pattern of forming and sending disciples out to ever-widening groups of people, just as the apostles did in the early Church.
