The Most Reverend Gerard W. Battersby, D.D., Bishop of La Crosse, makes the following announcements: The Very Reverend […] If I have learned anything over the course of my 21 months as a priest, it is that without the Eucharist, my life means […] Landon and Elizabeth Cerny, members of St. James the Greater Parish in Eau Claire, are modern-day influencers. Often, the straightest line between A and B is not the route God chooses for us. We may set off confidently toward a goal, […] Living a life connected with and configured to Jesus is a universal call for all Christians.
