SPRING GREEN — “We are truly a family here at St. John’s School” is proclaimed on the website for St. John the Evangelist School in Spring Green (www.stjohns-springgreen.org)
The average class size is less than 15, which allows the teachers to know every student as an individual and to respect each for his or her own individual talents and gifts.
HAZEL GREEN — Students and staff from St. Joseph School recently completed another successful Christmas outreach activity.
Part of our Catholic faith and identity is to help others in need, so the students and staff decided to live out their faith by helping people they may never meet. But we know that when we help our brothers and sisters, we are living the way Jesus wants us to live.
MADISON — For two weeks in late October, the Edgewood College campus had about 40 special guests, but they weren’t there to study.
Students, faculty, staff, and guests who walked near a wooded area on the southern part of the campus found a fenced area set up — for goats.
The goats were on hand to help the school’s Landscape and Grounds Department to clear invasive plant species along the shore of Lake Wingra.
The goats, quite simply, were brought in to eat the plants.

As I follow people on Twitter and help to put together the issue of the Catholic Herald each week, I read about a lot of Catholics taking pilgrimages to the three approved Marian Shines in Wisconsin: the Basilica of the National Shrine of Mary, Help of Christians at Holy Hill, near Milwaukee; the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help, in Champion, near Green Bay; and the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe, near La Crosse.
I have been to two of the three sites, the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe being the only one I have yet to visit. I would now like to reflect on the first time I visited one of these shrines.
Back in May of 2012, I went on a one-day bus trip with parishioners from St. Christopher Parish in Verona to the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help in Champion (formally known as Robinsonville).
