Chapel to Host Archdiocesan

Consecrated Life Celebration

For the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic, the Archdiocese of Milwaukee will celebrate Consecrated Life Sunday with a choral prayer service in St. Joseph Chapel.

“Prophetic Witness: A Voice Cries Out in the Wilderness” is the theme for the service on Sunday, February 1, which will be led by a combined choir of men and women religious, lay members and associates, and priests of the archdiocese. Auxiliary Bishop James Schuerman will be the presider and homilist.

The service begins at 2 p.m. and is free and open to the public. A reception in St. Joseph Hall will immediately follow the service.

The gathering is sponsored by the Archdiocese’s Office of the Vicar for Religious, led by Sister Diana DeBruin, OSF. For complete details, please see the event flyer.
