MADISON — “This is a place where you’ll make a difference.”
Those are bold words coming from Edgewood High School junior DC Morris, but they are true.
Morris, along with 21 other teens, makes up the St. Vincent de Paul (SVDP) Youth Service Council.
Nearly two years ago, the society’s District Council of Madison formed the council consisting of high school students who serve as representatives for their home parishes or schools.
The Madison Diocesan Council of Catholic Women (MDCCW) invites women of the diocese to gather for prayer, inspiration, and socializing at fall meetings scheduled as noted below. The vicariate sponsoring the meeting is noted followed by date and location.
Vicariate Council of Catholic Women (CCW) presidents will conduct the meetings with MDCCW President Rosa Ropers, Waunakee, participating. Mass will be offered at each meeting with either Msgr. Duane Moellenberndt, Sun Prairie, or Fr. Lorin Bowens, Lime Ridge, concelebrating with attending priests. Both are spiritual advisors to MDCCW.

If this special vocation within the Church is to be renewed, just how would one go about that?
