Change in Into Great Silence event

MADISON -- The Into Great Silence event for young adults in their 20s and 30s has been moved to the Wednesday, June 27, 7:25 p.m. showing, two days before the originally scheduled date.

Sundance Cinemas at Hilldale in Madison will not be showing the movie Into Great Silence, a film about the Carthusian monks, on Friday as expected. So the event, sponsored by the Ruah Arts Group, Downtown Young Adult Ministry, and the Office of Vocations, is rescheduled for Wednesday, June 27. The event starts with an optional dinner at 5:30 p.m. at the Great Dane Pub & Brewing at Hilldale Mall and the movie at 7:25 p.m. at the cinema (430 N. Midvale Blvd., Madison, on the corner of University Ave. and Midvale Blvd.), with drinks following.

To purchase tickets online go to www.sundancecinemas.com (be sure to choose Sundance Cinemas 608 in Madison and not the theater in San Francisco) for the Wednesday, June 27, 7:25 p.m. showing, in Row F or above. For more information on the movie or ticketing, call Sundance Cinemas at 608-316-6900. For any questions about the evening, call Marcella Colbert at St. Patrick's Church at 608-257-5000.


Tribunal director:
Explains church process in abuse cases

MADISON -- With the release of the final decision by the Vatican's Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith in the penal judicial trial of Fr. Kenneth E. Klubertanz, questions have arisen about the duration of the process involved, the nature of the decision reached, and the relation between ecclesiastical and civil law.

Related article:

Jay Conzemius, director of the Tribunal for the Diocese of Madison, answered some of these questions in an interview. Conzemius, a canon lawyer, holds the positions of Promoter of Justice and Defender of the Bond with the Diocese of Madison's Tribunal.

As Promoter of Justice, amongst other things he represents the Church in cases of clergy sexual abuse of minors, the latter being viewed as a crime against the Church. As Defender of the Bond, he represents the Church in marriage invalidity cases.   Full story ...

Waunakee parish:
Building for the next 100 years

WAUNAKEE -- As parish communities get larger and time passes, parishes are faced with the challenge of providing for the needs of their people in increasingly confined and aging buildings.

For St. John the Baptist Parish, Waunakee, meeting this challenge meant expanding their current church and school into a campus that will include the existing church, a new worship and gathering space, an office building, and the school.

The "Building a Community of Faith" process, which was begun nearly a decade ago with a long-range plan committee, continued June 2 with an official groundbreaking of the new church. The ground had already been broken for construction, but the symbolic occasion included Mass, celebrated by Bishop Robert C. Morlino with the parish priests concelebrating, and then a prayer service at the new site.   Full story ...
