Appreciates coverage of St. Dennis Church renovation
To the editor:
Thank you for your feature on St. Dennis Church’s new altar, tabernacle, and renovation.
St. Dennis Parish is a welcoming faith community, but we feel these additions make it an even stronger Catholic one.
What does courage look like today?
MADISON — Faces of courage and stories of faith took the spotlight during the St. Dennis Parish “Courage Through Faith” event that was held on the fourth Sunday of Easter.
Pastor Fr. Randy Timmerman welcomed about 400 believers from congregations throughout the city with the challenge to be bold and courageous in work and everyday life, much like the apostles were courageous in building the early Church after Christ rose from the dead.
Father Timmerman’s plea was to be a living example of Christian values and voices in a society that is often hostile toward faith.
Do our part to live Laudato Si’
To the editor:
Your recent article on St. Dennis Parish’s solar panel installation is welcome news. Congratulations to Fr. Randy Timmerman for embracing and acting on the message of Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’. St. Dennis is leading by example and paving the way for their parishioners and more parishes in the diocese to do likewise.
I am also grateful for the article informing parishes that there is grant funding available from RENEW Wisconsin to assist in the costs of installing solar.
