Five new seminarians

As director of vocations for the Diocese of Madison, I'm very pleased to announce five new seminarians for the Diocese of Madison will begin their studies towards priesthood this fall. In conjunction with our six existing seminarians, we currently have 11 men studying for the priesthood at the college and major seminaries.

Our new men come from a variety of backgrounds. Two men, Patrick Wendler and David Greenfield, are "later vocations" with significant life experience. They will begin their seminary studies at Blessed John XXIII Seminary in Weston, Mass.

John Gordon, who has already taken a number of graduate theology courses, will be attending the Pontifical North American College in Rome. David Carrano, a recent graduate of UW-Madison in Spanish, will begin his pre-theology coursework at St. John Vianney Seminary at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minn. Mitch Knutson will be starting his college coursework at the Emmaus House of Discernment connected with St. Mary University in Winona, Minn.   Full story ...


All Saints: Come marching in at new Retirement Center

MADISON -- As Charlie Mears and the Strollers played a lively rendition of "When the Saints Go Marching In," the ribbon was cut on All Saints Retirement Center on Wednesday, Aug. 18.

The facility houses 144 apartment homes for seniors. It is owned by Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Madison and is being developed, built, and managed by Horizon Development Group.

Residents pleased

The first residents moved into their brand new apartment homes the previous week. One of those residents is Lee Tvedten of Madison. Tvedten said it seemed providential to live there because he was born on All Saints Day.

Tvedten is very pleased with his new home. "I'm real happy. It's got everything you'd want. It's affiliated with Catholic Charities and the location is great - right next to the O'Connor Center."   Full story and photo ...
