Downtown girl:

MADISON -- The new director of young adult ministry in the downtown parishes is no shrinking violet.

Marcella Colbert |

Perhaps it's growing up in Texas, where everything is reportedly bigger and bolder. Or having a mother of the same name who's a nationally known, outspoken proponent of life.
Whatever the cause, Marcella Colbert can be summed up with the same word she's used to describe the focus of the young adult ministry flourishing in the downtown parishes recently: confidence.
That confidence has paid dividends in bringing new life to the parishes by attracting young adults to Mass, brunches, and other activities through word of mouth and plain old personal invitations.
With the support of Bishop Robert C. Morlino and pastor Msgr. Kevin Holmes, the hope is that the young adult ministry at St. Raphael Cathedral, Holy Redeemer Parish, St. Paul's University Catholic Center, and St. Patrick Parish will continue to grow. Full story ...

All Saints:
Announces building
of assisted living center
MADISON -- The final phase in the development of the All Saints Neighborhood, off Watts Rd. on Madison's rapidly growing far west side, will proceed this year. Groundbreaking is anticipated to begin in summer 2007.
A 60-bed assisted living facility will complete the project that was first envisioned over a decade ago - a campus designed to offer seniors an array of housing opportunities and create a unique sense of home and community for residents. This "aging in place" philosophy provides a continuum of care for residents in the All Saints Neighborhood. The new facility will consist of 40 units for frail and elderly care and 20 units for memory care patients.
The All Saints Neighborhood, located adjacent to the Bishop O'Connor Center on the former Holy Name Seminary site, has been a leader in the development of Watts Rd. In addition to the Princeton Club complex, a retail shopping, dining, and residential center has sprung up complete with a Brennan's market, Jacobson's meat market, and other unique shops and food service options including R.P. Adler's Pub and Grill, Pizza Hut, and Milio's subs. Full story ...
