MADISON — Bishop Robert C. Morlino of Madison visited Care Net Pregnancy Center on June 2, surrounded by children of various ages who have lived in the Elizabeth House.
Care Net staff and volunteers were grateful for the opportunity to pray with the bishop. The children received a blessing from Bishop Morlino.
The faithful of the Diocese of Madison, led by the bishop, have provided ongoing support to the Elizabeth House for 10 years. The diocesan partnership with Care Net helped make the Elizabeth House a reality during the capital campaign, and their ongoing investment has helped provide a safe place to make a change for vulnerable moms and babies.
“We are deeply grateful to the Lord that we have the Elizabeth House here,” said the bishop, “in a setting where we can work together as Catholics and other Christians.”

For the fourth year, Christ the King Parish will be holding weekly Rosary Rallies for Religious Liberty. The kickoff is Tuesday, June 23, at which Fr. Steve Smith, pastor, will present a short overview of the issues and our role as Catholics in bringing light and truth to the challenges we are facing.
