MADISON — The volunteer meeting for Madison’s 40 Days for Life vigil was highlighted with the news of an abortion clinic ceasing operations in Green Bay. That development is serving as motivation to help the same thing happen here.
The next 40 Days for Life is scheduled to take place Wednesday, Sept. 25 through Sunday, Nov. 3. The effort calls for people to come out and pray near abortion clinics to help end abortion.
MADISON — In June, Our Lady of Hope Clinic celebrated its fourth anniversary of providing free medical care to Dane County’s uninsured men, women, and children.
The clinic, which first opened its doors to uninsured patients on June 1, 2009, is the area’s only completely free full-time primary care clinic for people without health insurance.
MADISON — In 2012 several parishes banded together with the Catholic Multicultural Center, Kids Against Hunger, as well as the organization 6:8 Making Service Personal and made a plan.
The plan, called Feed My Sheep, was to invite people from local Catholic parishes to donate toward building 25,000 meals for people in need in the Madison area and throughout the world. Each meal only cost a quarter, yet 25,000 meals sounded like a lot of quarters . . . and it was.
Reaching out to one another with a spirit of camaraderie and joy, hundreds of guests and dozens of volunteers participated in the annual Apostolate to the Handicapped Advent/Christmas Party at Monroe High School (MHS).
St. Mary’s Hospital recently celebrated “100 years of Care…and counting.” Through a partnership with the hospital that spans some 20 years, the Catholic Multicultural Center (CMC) has seen what a big difference a little caring can make.
In past years during tough economic times, there was a decrease in the number of people serving as volunteers in our country.
Fortunately, that has not been happening during our current economic crisis, reported a recent poll taken for PARADE magazine. Instead, this poll shows that there’s a “compassion boom” with more and more people helping others.
For most of us the floods have come and gone, but there are thousands of our brothers and sisters still coping with its effects.
