Wisconsin Bishops Speak Out Against “Equality Act”

“Wisconsin’s Catholic bishops join with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) in opposing the Equality Act of 2021 (H.R. 5). While all people must be treated with dignity and respect, efforts to prevent discrimination cannot foster inequality and intolerance of religion and people of faith. The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution specifically protects free speech and the free exercise of faith, as both are essential for a free and open society….” Read more and make your voice heard – Visit diolc.org/social-concerns.
Visit the U.S. Bishops’ “Action Alerts” Page (Votervoice.net/USCCB/home):
 Advocate in favor of the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.
 Tell Congress to keep the Hyde Amendment – No taxpayer funding of abortion.
 Oppose the ERA and the “Equality Act” that hurt women and the unborn and discriminate against people of faith.

U.S. Bishops' Action Alert opposing ERA & "Equality Act"

The U.S. Bishops ask the faithful to voice their opposition to a renewed attempt to ratify the deceptively named Equal Rights Amendment, as well as to speak out against the more recent, similarly named Equality Act, both of which threaten the true dignity of women and th elives of unborn children. They would also discriminate against the work of faith-based organizations. For more information and to make your voice heard, visit www.votervoice.net/USCCB/home.

U.S. Bishops... On Our Way Back to Full Worship!

The month of June gives us many mysteries of the faith to contemplate on our way back to full worship. In the weeks leading up to a full return to worship, the Diocese of LaCrosse will observe three powerful celebrations: Corpus Christi, The Chrism Mass and the Sacrament of Holy Orders. I invite you to pray with me as we celebrate, united as one body, renewed in God’s presence.

The Eucharist is the very body and blood, soul and divinity of Jesus—the same Jesus who reconciles us to God the Father from the Cross. Christ upon the Cross is not lost to the past, but he is present to us—even in us—through the Blessed Sacrament today. There is no more powerful medicine in heaven or on earth for our spiritual health. May the Eucharistic Lord fill us with his divine life as we return to Mass!

The Holy Spirit animates the Mystical Body of Christ much as our human souls enliven our earthly bodies. The annual Chrism Mass recalls the gift and anointing of the Holy Spirit on Jesus, his Church, and on each of us. By the consecration of the Sacred Chrism—as well as the blessing of the Oil of the Sick and the Oil of the Catechumens— the power of the Holy Spirit spreads to our parishes and, by the anointing of priests, strengthens, heals, and consecrates God’s people. Come, Holy Spirit, and enliven and beautify our souls at this time!

At Baptism, we are enrolled in the priesthood of Jesus, called like him to sacrifice ourselves for the life of the world. At ordination, men are called to help the baptized carry out this great task. The baptized need priests and priests need the baptized: together they win the world for God in Christ. May our Diocese unite at this time to bring life, joy and holiness to a world so much in need!

PARISH HISTORY

The Jubilee committee has spent a lot of time displaying our Parish History on the walls for people to see. Take a few moments and walk around Fr. Klink Hall to look at the impressive display. What a blast from the past!

75 YEARS AS A PARISH!

The Jubilee Year concluding ceremony has been postponed to an unannounced future date due to the current restrictions related to Covid-19.

We shall eagerly await to set a new date and celebrate it as a Parish Family!
