MADISON — Three and a half years ago, Madison area youth ministers were looking for a project that would engage their parishes in action befitting the Lenten season.
Several parishes banded together with the Catholic Multicultural Center, Kids Against Hunger, as well as the organization 6:8 Making Service Personal, and made a plan.
St. Mary’s Hospital recently celebrated “100 years of Care…and counting.” Through a partnership with the hospital that spans some 20 years, the Catholic Multicultural Center (CMC) has seen what a big difference a little caring can make.
MADISON — In today’s highly competitive job market, a slight advantage may be the only difference between the one person that gets the job and the dozens that must continue their search.
The Catholic Multicultural Center (CMC) aims to provide that slight advantage to job seekers by offering a weekly “Preparing for the Interview” job skills workshop.
Over the years, Christians have had discussions — sometimes very heated arguments — about the primacy of faith or good works.
For Catholics, it’s really not one or the other that takes precedence. It’s both. In fact, according to Scripture and Church teaching, you can’t have one without the other.
As we begin the season of Lent, it seems an appropriate time to reflect on the connection between faith and good works. Traditionally Lent is a time when prayer, fasting, and almsgiving take centerstage.
MADISON — John and Sarah Ramthun are all about T-shirts. Actually, they are all about a particular T-shirt that is making a statement and helping raise money for a program near and dear to their hearts called “Feed My Sheep.”
MADISON — In its 65th year of service, lack of fresh, healthy produce in the food pantry is no longer a problem for the Catholic Multicultural Center (CMC).
An over one-acre community garden began providing produce for the center this spring. The garden, which has been in existence for 12 years, is one of three overseen by a local volunteer group, Madison Area Food Pantry Gardens.
As the bells toll outside my office at the Bishop O’Connor Pastoral Center in Madison, I am reminded of the death of Bishop William H. Bullock, our respected and beloved bishop emeritus.
In the weeks before Christmas, we heard that there was renewed confidence in the economy in our country.
To the editor:
I have read with dismay of the grand plans for the makeover of the St. Paul Center on the Madison UW campus.
While I can understand that it has been many years since the building has been updated, the present plans seem to be more than is necessary.
The Catholic Multicultural Center (CMC) of Madison, now under the leadership of Our Lady Queen of Peace Parish, will be having an open house on Sunday, Oct. 24, from 1 to 4 p.m. to celebrate its expanding programs over the last year and 64 years of service.
