The Catholic Diocese of Madison Foundation (CDMF) is pleased to announce the addition of two members to its Board of Directors.
Month: March 2025
The changeup
Those who caught last month’s column may recall that I was on a bit of a hopeful high: Savoring my Valentine décor, embracing a reinvigorated devotion to The Little Flower, and resting in the solace of my epiphany regarding heavy crosses that are long in duration.
Testigos de la Esperanza: Seamos fructíferos
Estamos bien encaminados hacia este tiempo de Cuaresma, y durante esta semana se nos invita a profundizar en nuestra fe y confianza en las promesas de Dios. También se nos anima a escuchar a Jesús y a vivir como ciudadanos del Cielo. Nuestras lecturas para el Tercer Domingo de Cuaresma nos llaman al arrepentimiento y a regresar al Señor.
Witnesses to Hope: Be fruitful
We are well on our way into this season of Lent, and we are invited to deepen our faith and trust in God’s promises this week.
Half a Lent is better than no Lent
A couple of weeks into a new year, there’s a day called “Quitter’s Friday”. It’s the alleged day in which many people who had noble goals — eat less, exercise more, donate more money to charities, be less angry at outcomes of sporting events — decide to, well, “quit,” and go back to how things were prior to that respective January 1.
Pastors installed at parishes
On March 1, Bishop Donald J. Hying of Madison installed Fr. Carlos Reinoso, SJS, as the pastor of Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament Parish, located on the western edge of the diocese.
Let us glorify Him
The Gospel for the Second Sunday of Lent is always the Transfiguration scene when Peter, James, and John momentarily glimpse the glory of the risen Christ.
Bishop greets 270 intent on joining the Church
On the warm and sunny afternoon of March 2, catechumens, candidates, sponsors, and families from across the Diocese of Madison traveled to Waunakee.
March 1: A day of prayer and fasting
As the Wisconsin Supreme Court considers its decision on a case that would determine the legality of abortion in the state, the faithful were invited to make March 1 a day of prayer, fasting, and vigil for the unborn.
The powerful impact of one little word
This Lent, I’m determined to do the difficult work of discerning God’s will for me on a daily basis, prefacing my petitionary prayers by professing my faith, and remembering that actions speak louder than words (or wants or wishes), even if it means the occasional slap in the face to get my attention!
