Nearly 20 years ago, the Catholic Foundation and the Diocese of Green Bay began the Advancing the Mission capital campaign with a goal of supporting our parishes, and establishing endowments for leadership development, lifelong catechesis, priestly retirement care and evangelization. Today those endowments continue to help our parishes and young people in creating opportunities to encounter Christ in meaningful ways. Thanks to the Catholic Foundation’s Advancing the Mission Evangelization grant, the Jesuit Retreat House (JRH) has been able to offer and expand its Spanish language silent preached retreat, an experience that is transforming lives and strengthening the Hispanic Catholic community in the Diocese of Green Bay.

Thanks to the Catholic Foundation’s Advancing the Mission Evangelization grant, 15 pilgrims from the Diocese of Green Bay embarked on a faith-filled adventure that combined physical endurance, fellowship, and spiritual growth this past summer. This three-day journey began at St. Anthony Church in Oconto Falls, where participants pedaled 25 miles to Camp Tekakwitha and back again, totaling 50 miles.

Kyle y Karen Connery-Cendejas no se limitaron a decir “Sí, quiero”. Dejaron que Dios los guiara hacia un matrimonio destinado a brillar. En un mundo que a veces puede parecer oscuro, el amor —especialmente el amor arraigado en la fe— hace brillar la luz de Cristo para que todos la vean. Esto es especialmente cierto

Kyle and Karen didn’t just say, “I do.” They let God’s light lead them into a marriage built to shine.
