MADISON — As our parents age, they may experience some decline. That can cause a sometimes difficult transition from being their child to being their primary caregiver.
How do we address these changes and challenges with love, strengthened and supported by our Catholic faith? How do we care for ourselves and remain grounded in hope?

For parents and students everywhere, “back to school” means shopping and lots of it, mostly for supplies and clothes. In both of those areas, there can be debates and battles between parents and children on what each thinks the student should have.
With fashions and trends always changing, buying “school clothes” becomes a yearly challenge.
Schools in the Diocese of Madison try every year to create a safe and comfortable learning environment while dealing with new fashion trends.
Students from around the diocese took time out of their summer vacations to do something very unusual: come to school.
That’s right. For three weeks from Monday through Thursday, they spent their mornings at St. Ambrose Academy in Madison going to class, taking notes, doing homework, and preparing for a test.
Why would they do such a thing? The reason is simple: they want to be better students. They know that the school year is starting soon, and they know that Christ calls them to be the best students they can be.
