A Letter to Catholics in Wisconsin on Defining Marriage in Our State Constitution

This letter from the Wisconsin Bishops was an insert in this week's bulletin at St. Al's. They must have decided to give the bishops equal time.

There was an insert on the Human Concerns Committee's effort to have the parish sponsor a refugee family, probably Hmong or Somali, in cooperation with Catholic Charities and the St. Vincent de Paul Society.

And there was an insert on this year's mission trips. After Mass I signed us up, tentatively, for a fall trip to Peru where we'd teach English as a Second Language. If we can't do that, there are available April and August trips back to the orphanage in Santa Apolonia, Guatemala. (See May 2006 and scroll down.)

Update: Here's a photo of testing on the new storage shelving our August 2006 group helped build for the orphanage carpentry shop.
