 ANNOUNCING THE "FISHER'S OF MEN" SEMINARIAN EDUCATION APPEAL

Through your prayers and support we currently have six men discerning the call to the priesthood for the Diocese of Superior. As these men are studying to be our future priests your prayers are needed more than ever along with your financial support. So, with the direction of Bishop Christensen and the efforts of Fr. Tom Thompson, Vocation Director, and the Office of Vocations we are pleased to announce a new program to support our seminarians called the "Fisher's of Men" Seminarian Education Appeal. This new initiative is more than just an appeal to collect the much needed funds for the seminarian's education, it is designed to introduce you to our seminarians, inform you of what the Office of Vocations is doing to support these young men and how you can be more involved in their discernment journey … especially through prayer.

Extension Calendars Bring Funds to Diocese of Superior

Over the past decade, the Diocese of Superior has received $1,322,254.00 in grants from Catholic Extension.  Today, Catholic Extension continues to partner with our diocese, providing much-needed resources to: 

• Fund basic ministries, parish operations, and salary subsidies for priests and women religious;

• Offer religious education and outreach ministries, including campus ministry programs;

• Build and renovate church buildings and parish facilities;

• Train lay, religious and ordained Catholic leaders;

• Become more efficient and self-sustaining in our financial and operational capacities.

What you may not realize is that one of the ways Catholic Extension raises money is through its calendar program.  If your parish currently uses calendars from another vendor, or doesn’t offer calendars, I would encourage you to consider purchasing your 2012 calendars through Catholic Extension.   www.catholicextension.org
