Each October we observe Respect Life Month in dioceses throughout the United States. Although ending abortion remains a priority of the utmost importance, threats to the disabled and those at the end of life deserve our attention as well.
The legalization of medically assisted suicide in Canada in June should serve as a wake-up call compelling us to reach out in solidarity to our most vulnerable brothers and sisters.
MONONA — Immaculate […]
MONONA — The Sisters of Mary, Morning Star, will hold a Sacred Concert of monastic chant on Sunday, Jan. 24, at 3 p.m. at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, Monona.
Different styles of music will be performed including pre-Gregorian chant, crusaders alleluia, Byzantine chant, Christian music from India, and modern monastic chant.
The Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa invite all to join them in an Opening Ritual and Vesper Service to begin the celebration of the 800th jubilee year of the Order of Preachers at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 7, in Queen of the Rosary Chapel at Sinsinawa Mound, 585 CTH Z, Hazel Green.
To the editor:
The statements in the recently released Final Report on the Doctrinal Assessment of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) to the effect that Jesus Christ is central and Sisters should be implementing “an ecclesiology of communion” echo past documents on the Religious Life. Some may miss why this is significant in the new report — after all, isn’t that a given for Religious Sisters?
The painful ground-level reality has been that some Sisters and whole LCWR congregations have grown apart from the Church in heart and mind and come to feel estranged from what they call “the institutional Church.” More than a few have questioned whether they want to be part of it.
The cheerful smiles and “hellos” of the Schoenstatt Sisters greeted everyone as they entered the air-conditioned chapel and hall on Madison’s east side.
Sr. Marjory Snyder, OP, died June 13, 2014, at Orchard Manor, Lancaster, Wis. Her religious name was Sister Paul Tarsus. The funeral Mass was held in Queen of the Rosary Chapel at Sinsinawa June 16, 2014, followed by burial in the Motherhouse Cemetery.
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.

Although we all seem to long for peace on earth and in our own lives, peace seems to be an elusive commodity. Is peace on earth really possible?
Some would say we may have to wait until our earthly life is over to experience real peace. However, Jesus said to his disciples, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” He has sent his apostles and all of his disciples — including us — to establish peace on earth.
But how do we achieve that peace? In his message for the World Day of Peace, observed on January 1, Pope Francis says that peace will happen if we treat each other as sisters and brothers, remembering that God is the father of all.
