Bishop asks parishes to respond to those in need

Bishop David Ricken is asking Catholics to help families and individuals who are feeling fearful, uncertain, and anxious because of the economic downturn. "It is in the face of times like these that the Church, and especially parishes, are called to respond with pastoral care and loving concern in whatever ways that it can," Bishop Ricken said. To help make this possible, the Diocese of Green Bay has put together a packet of helpful ideas, programs, and resource materials.
