Here is an excerpt from out Diocseon Newspaper, "The Compass"

[quote]Parishes in the Green Bay diocese are using a Planning process scheduled for completion by next spring to decide how best to serve Catholics through 2010 with fewer priests.  There are 123 diocesan priests serving 184 parishes.  Of these, 77 priests servea t one parish (That's Fr. David my parish)  52 parishes are linked with another parish and share a priest.  and 41 parishes are clustered in groups of three or more parishes and share a priest.  [/quote]

We had two priests ordained this year.

Hopefully one day I may be ordained... If God so wills it...

No...I'm from NJ, but I go to school in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. We had a priest from St. Vincents come for our Busy Person's Retreat this past spring. We all loved him, he was so awesome. His name was Fr. Fred.

Awe cool! The Benedictine are wonderful, wonderful people. I'm eternally grateful to them for having me brought me home to Holy Mother Church!
