Most Rev. Gerard W. Battersby

Bishop of La Crosse

Ordained on May 30, 1998, the Reverend Gerard W. Battersby served in parish ministry for approximately 10 years in Detroit before being appointed to Sacred Heart Major Seminary, where he received a Licentiate in the New Evangelization in 2008. While serving as director of graduate seminarians and graduate pastoral formation at the seminary, Father Battersby also served concurrently as administrator of St. Leo Parish in Detroit.
In 2009, Father Battersby was assigned to graduate studies at the Angelicum in Rome, Italy. In 2011, Father Battersby was appointed vice-rector and dean of seminarian formation at Sacred Heart Major Seminary.
Father Battersby was appointed as Auxiliary Bishop of Detroit on Nov. 23, 2016, and his episcopal ordination occurred shortly thereafter on Jan. 25, 2017. Archbishop Allen H. Vigneron served as the principal consecrator and main celebrant.
On March 19, 2024, His Holiness Pope Francis named Bishop Battersby as the 11th Bishop of the Diocese of La Crosse.

Becoming Eucharistic Missionaries

Rev. Samuel Martin

Priest of the Diocese of La Crosse

Father Martin was born in Prairie du Chien to Mark and Barbara Martin. He is the second of five children and was blessed to have been raised on a farm. He was ordained a priest in 1999 and served for 11 years as a high school chaplain. He has been a priest for nearly 25 years and is currently the pastor of Holy Name of Jesus Parish in Wausau. He loves to read and hike and is a better speaker than listener. With your prayers, he’s working on that last part.

Music by

Luke Spehar

Luke Spehar is an internationally known singer/ songwriter and recording artist. “Singing, writing, and guitar playing- Luke Spehar has all three in spades,” says three-time Grammy- winner Ben Harper, who co-produced Spehar’s third record.  All Is Gift.   Audiences find themselves drawn into an authentic faith experience that both captivates and enriches lives.

Spehar’s five albums maintain the earthy and honest acoustic sound that he is known for and awaken the soul and explorer in us all.
