Annual Catholic Appeal 2016:
“Contemplating the Face of God’s Mercy”
The theme for the 2016 Annual Catholic Appeal of the Diocese of Madison concentrates on God’s Mercy. We ask that God grant us a renewed sense of responsibility to truly Contemplate the Face of His Mercy in our parishes, our diocese
and the Church throughout the world. We ask that His grace make us even more generous in supporting those needs. Each pledge to the Annual
Catholic Appeal supports diocesan ministries, education and services today and assures a strong future for the Diocese of Madison
and the people that it serves. This year each of us is asked to consider making a pledge, payable over five months. Your gift will help
enable the diocese to reach its goal and provide grant opportunities for Catholic schools, religious education programs and assisting distressed parishes in need. If you received your pledge form
in the mail, please complete it and mail it back. Thank you for your prayerful
consideration and generous response.

at the Sauk Prairie Area Food Pantry on Saturday, February 20. Students age 12

What is Totus Tuus?
The goal of Totus Tuus is to help young people develop their relationship with
Jesus Christ so He may lead them to the Father by the power of the Holy Spirit. To accomplish this, we emphasize a devotion and love for the Lord in Eucharist and for Mary our Mother.
We strive to help young people to understand their faith through catechesis
so that they may live it in today's world. We do this in such a way that it is
fun for all ages.
Totus Tuus calls upon college students and seminarians from across the United States to carry out its mission. Those hired are trained and put into teams
of four (two men and two women) to go out into a parish for a week and put
on a "Parish Mission for youth" in order to teach and inspire.

Seven Sundays in Honor of St. Joseph
This Sunday, February 7th, we will pray the second of the Seven Sundays Devotion to St. Joseph, just before Mass. The Seven Sundays Devotion celebrates the
seven joys and sorrows that St. Joseph shared, as Head of the Holy Family, with
the Blessed Mother. This Sunday we honor St. Joseph’s sorrow when his foster
son, Jesus, was born in the poverty of a stable and his overwhelming joy when he
heard the Angels sing and saw the splendors of the night. We offer the Seven
Sundays Devotion in Thanksgiving for the unspeakable Mercy of our Divine Savior and for an increased use of the Sacraments He has provided us, to obtain His
Mercy.
Ash Wednesday, February 10th
There will be a Mass at St. Mary Health of the Sick on Ash Wednesday, February
10th, at 5:30 p.m.
