In order to accomplish this task, a parish representative is necessary in each parish and/or cluster. Under the guidance of the parish leadership, the representative(s) would work with them to implement any culture of life activity in the parish. Assistance from the Diocesan Respect Life Office is available. Twice a year – spring and fall – parish contacts are called together for in-service and sharing. All parish leaders are encouraged to appoint a respect life parish representative and send the contact information for them to Debra Lieberg: 715-394-0240; [email protected]. Spring meeting for parish respect life reps is scheduled for Thursday, May 7, 2015. In 2006, the Catholic Bishops of Wisconsin voted to transfer the Solemnity of the Lord’s Ascension from, Thursday of the Sixth Week of Easter, to the Seventh Sunday of Easter. This was intended to allow a greater number of people to celebrate the feast with due solemnity in the context of the Mass. This year, the Ascension of the Lord is observed on May 17, 2015. It may not be celebrated on any other day.

Psalm 40:11 Make new friends Bring forgiveness and healing to friends and family in prayer and action Develop listening skills Dealing with special needs in friendships—loneliness, confession of sins and more Mass, Confession & Adoration HI G H S CHOO L LE ADE RS ( G RAD E S 9 -1 2 ) All are called to share the story of Jesus. This means that family and friends are meant to be part of this incredible journey of faith. At times, the story is not easy. Jesus encountered pain, suffering and joy! Relationships require forgiveness, mercy and tenderness. Like Jesus, faith leaders can provide healing to the broken-hearted and compassion to the lonely. This leadership training will focus on how to witness to hope! I knew I wanted to be like them: a committed disciple “ who works to build the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.” .
