MADISON — In their new Celebration of Life garden, outside the front doors of the church, parishioners of St. Dennis Parish watched as the papers for their mortgage — fully paid — were burned in a ceremony that is the dream of many a homeowner.
St. Dennis Church was built in the 1980s, a permanent structure to replace the temporary church built when the parish was founded in 1956. It incorporated the temporary church, which formed the sacristy, chapel, and social area, into its larger structure.
