MADISON -- On Respect Life Sunday, Oct. 5, people from throughout the Diocese of Madison gathered for the 52nd semi-annual Rosary March at St. Raphael Cathedral here.

Praying the Joyful, Sorrowful, and Luminous Mysteries of the rosary, participants processed twice around the block behind a statue of the Blessed Mother. They paused and turned toward the abortion clinic across the street from the cathedral while praying the Sorrowful Mysteries.

Year of the Rosary

"Many of the faithful who attend these Rosary Marches have done so almost every year," said Richard Blaney, coordinator. He said the Rosary March is especially important this year, which is the Year of the Rosary proclaimed by Pope John Paul II.

The theme of the march was "That the Year of the Rosary spread devotion to Our Lady through our meditation on all the mysteries of the rosary."   Full story ...

MADISON -- Egg rolls and fried rice, chicken curry and spicy beef were among the tasty offerings at a recent Vietnamese dinner and cultural night held at the Diocese of Madison's Catholic Multicultural Center here.

The meal, prepared by the Madison Vietnamese Community Association, was offered as a part of the St. Martin House community meal program, which usually serves approximately 140 free meals in one evening.

On this particular evening, nearly 240 guests gathered to enjoy the authentic Vietnamese food. It had been prepared by a dozen members of the Madison Vietnamese Community Association, according to Thuy Pham-Remmele, who helped coordinate the efforts.

"It's good to see the community enjoying the food," she said. "It's worth the effort."

Those preparing the food included people such as Xuong Tuong and Chin Tran, who worked in the St. Martin House kitchen since 5:30 p.m. the night before. St. Martin House provided the meat and vegetables, while the Vietnamese community supplied specialty items such as egg rolls.

Helping to serve the meal were students from the Madison Area Technical College (MATC) Asian Club.
