MILWAUKEE — Frigid Wisconsin temperatures hovering near single digits were a sharp contrast to the warm, festive mood inside the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist on January 4, as the Milwaukee Archdiocese welcomed its 11th shepherd, Archbishop Jerome E. Listecki.

Nearly 1,000 were on hand at the cathedral for the installation of the 60-year-old Chicago native, most recently bishop of La Crosse.

Pope Benedict XVI announced his appointment of Archbishop Listecki to lead the 10-county archdiocese and its 643,000 Catholics on November 14, 2009.

ALLOUEZ — Holly Rottier’s role as Catholic schools director for the Diocese of Green Bay will take her to 62 Catholic schools around northeastern Wisconsin this fall.

In a circuitous way it will also take her to Lambeau Field, where she will sing the national anthem at the 24th annual Bishop’s Charities Game August 22.

Rottier was named Catholic schools director on July 6, following 10 years as co-principal at St. John Nepomucene School in Little Chute.
