Sisters Welcome Archbishop Grob July 8

Archbishop Jeffrey GrobArchbishop Jeffrey Grob will celebrate Mass in St. Joseph Chapel on Tuesday, July 8, at 10 a.m. This will be his first opportunity to visit our chapel since he was installed as Milwaukee’s 12th archbishop in January.

Please join us in welcoming him to our international motherhouse for what we hope will be the first of many visits! A reception with light refreshments will immediately follow the Mass.
