Just some tidbits I heard about
Archbishop Listecki will be back in La Crosse March 7th for Mass of Thanksgiving and May 29th for priestly ordinations
Bishop Harrington, retired from Winona, MN will celebrate Holy Week this year at the Cathedral in La Crosse.
The Cathedral in La Crosse planning a bus trip to the Dominican convent at Sinsinawa (eek! do you remember this?) where there is a museum of Father Samuel Mazzuchelli, OP. We may also stop at St. Gabriel’s in Prairie du Chien on the way where there is a monument to Father Lucien Galtier. Fr. Galtier was a major force in the establishment of the Catholic faith on the Minnesota Frontier in the early to mid-1800's. He renamed the city of Pig's Eye, MN to St. Paul, MN :) I'm sure there are plenty who appreciate that. I also heard that he died after cutting himself shaving, and that he would have been the first Bishop of La Crosse had he not died.
