Rev. Monsignor John Bernard Dewane, a Catholic Foundation board member emeritus, devout pastor, and diocesan administrator, passed away on February 15, 2024, at the age of 89.  His leadership was driven by the Holy Spirit.  He brought Jesus to hundreds through his diocesan work and played an important part in the beginning years of the Catholic Foundation.

Think back to when you discovered Jesus.  Often it is our loving parents who first introduce us to our Lord.  For many young people, a deeper discovery of Christ happens through faith formation educators.  In faith formation programs across the Diocese of Green Bay, children are learning about Jesus.  These programs help form the next generation in our Catholic faith.

Jesus calls us one by one to help people discover Him.  Through the one by One campaign, our goal is to raise $70 million to fund initiatives to support our parishes and Diocesan ministries. This capital campaign will help strengthen our parishes, grow vocations, lead more people to discover Christ, and bring Jesus to those in need.

Through the Raising Vocations Collection, we will be investing in ministries that encourage young men and women to say “Yes” to God’s calling to the priesthood or religious life. Through the generosity of thousands of people, the Raising Vocation Collection has raised more than $300,000.
