MADISON — Michael C. Koval, chief of police of Madison, brings an interesting skill set to speak to Catholic attorneys at the St. Thomas More Society meeting on Friday, May 1, at 7:30 a.m. at St. Patrick Church, 404 E. Main St.
Koval holds a journalism degree from UW-Madison and a law degree from William Mitchell College of Law. He will speak on “Law Enforcement and Lawyers.”
People of faith may provide some solutions to the unrest in our country over the deaths of civilians by police officers.
Like many others, I have been discussing these matters with people at home and work. We can understand the challenges faced by law enforcement in dealing with situations in their communities. Police officers are trying to protect citizens, but they can also find themselves in danger.
St. Jerome Parish in Columbus has been asked by representatives of the Columbus Police Department to reserve its comments regarding a recent arrest and ongoing legal investigation, to the following:
Editor’s note: Sr. M. Marcia Vinje, a Schoenstatt Sister of Mary, recently moved from Madison to work at Our Lady of Pity Parish in Staten Island, N.Y. Following are her reflections on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and other experiences.
The 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, are very much in the awareness of everyone in New York.
Everyone has a story about who they knew that died that day, or why their relative should have been at the World Trade Center but for various reasons they were not there that day or came later. The stories of God’s providence are phenomenal.
