WISCONSIN DELLS -- Setting a record number of participants for all Apostolate to the Handicapped events, 1,405 people attended the recent annual summer outing at the Tommy Bartlett Water Show in Wisconsin Dells.
On a perfect summer day, August 26, Msgr. Tom Campion, director of the Apostolate to the Handicapped, welcomed the handicapped, caregivers, and volunteers at Mass, which was followed by a lunch and then a show by the Tommy Bartlett Water Show performers.
A record number of 23 priests from throughout the Diocese of Madison concelebrated the Mass.
