Thanks to all who helped give HOPE this Christmas!
Christmas can be a very hard time for those who have lost their jobs, are homeless, or have had a change in their financial situations. BUT THANKS TO SO MANY "ELVES" ACROSS THE DIOCESE, CATHOLIC CHARITIES WAS ABLE TO BRIGHTEN CHRISTMAS FOR OVER 600 FAMILIES. That equals over 1,300 children and 750 adults. OVER 2,000 INDIVIDUALS! The wonderful generosity of our communities to help others, inspires our employees and volunteers in continuing to spread HOPE!

"Traveling Together in Hope"
Wisconsin's Roman Catholic bishops are asking Catholics and others to reach out to immigrants and to back comprehensive immigration reform that does not unfairly discriminate against them. Their request came in a pastoral letter, "Traveling Together in Hope," issued December 12, the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Click to read this document in English or Spanish.
