Auxiliary Bishop William Callahan of Milwaukee was introduced Friday as the new bishop of the La Crosse diocese. He will replace Bishop Listeki who was installed as the Archbishop of Milwaukee earlier this year. Bishop Callahan was ordained into the priesthood in 1997 and served congregations in Milwaukee and Perioa Illinois. A MIGHTY WIND
On May 12, a mighty wind in the person of Bishop William Bullock, Bishop Emeritus of Madison, confirmed 13 young men and women from St Kevin and St Joseph parishes.
Like good aged wine, Bishop Bullock, went down well, challenging yet befriending all of us to be the captain of our own ship with the help of the Holy Spirit avoiding the rocks society and the media place in our way. At 83, the bishop spoke for 40 minutes straight, standing and clinging to his crossier. Must be his two years in the Navy!
We can all be proud of how our youth prepared for and conducted themselves Wednesday evening, participating in the Liturgy. Their teachers, Dave Pardoe and Diane Andraska, merit congratulations. Special recognition goes to Corey Colburn and the SJ choir. Their communion song was dynamite! The servers were outstanding. In fact, John Philipp the bishop's assistant told me our servers were among the best he's ever dealth with: "They knew what they were doing!".
The presence of eight 4th Degree Knights of Columbus, forming the honor guard was icing on the cake. Thanks to our sacristan, Shirley, and Jan who prepared the reception, Bonnie Pfaff and Denise Cook for their adminstrative support. Thanks also to the concelebrating priests: Fr. McInnis, Fr. Wagner, Fr. Dioka, and Fr. Pace.
Diane Andraska summed it up best: "What a beautiful, spiritual Confirmation, like it should be. So holy! I was overcome with excitement for the students and families. I saw a number of tears in Church last night." I couldn't be a prouder pastor!

Do your children know they each have a guardian angel? Mrs. Eddy says many children come into second grade not knowing this fact. Perhaps their parents don't know that either. Well guess what. They do have an angel. What better than to teach these little "super hero" loving little people that they each have their own real true super hero who watches over them even if they can't see them? These little people have lots of fears of monsters and such. They need to know about the special protection that God has given them from evil.
The belief in Angels is common to all Christians. According to the CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, the existence of angels is a truth of faith. They are spiritual, non-corporeal beings (that is they do not have a body) called “angels” by Sacred Scripture. Scripture is very clear on this and Tradition is unanimous on it.
According to St. Augustine, the name of their nature is ‘spirit’ and what they do is ‘angel.” Angel means messenger and they are servants and messengers of God. According to Jesus, they “always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.”
Hundreds of beautifully hand-painted pebbles with images of the baby Jesus have been scattered around a coastal town by a man who wants to remind hectic shoppers of the true meaning of Christmas.
The tiny stones found in Newquay, Cornwall, feature Jesus wrapped in swaddling clothes, and have been delighting busy Christmas shoppers, who have found them on bollards, in phone boxes, at cash points, and on window ledges.
Each stone has been painstakingly painted by a local artist who wishes to remain anonymous.
He said he came up with the idea a few months ago and simply wanted to bring joy and the real message of Christmas to people.
Since he started in September the artist has spent nearly 90 hours painting around 300 pebbles which he scatters around the town on certain days.
