‘Call the world back to truth’

From The Superior Catholic Herald...

The 2022 Fall Conference organized by the Diocese of Superior’s Offices of Catholic Formation and Superintendent of Schools Peggy Schoenfuss took place on Friday, Nov. 4, at St. Joseph’s Church in Rice Lake. The day began with Mass concelebrated by Bishop James P. Powers, Rice Lake’s pastor Fr. Ed Anderson and Frs. Adam Laski, Joseph Madanu (Somerset cluster) and Madanu Karunakar (Hayward cluster). They were assisted by Dcn. Rod Knight, who proclaimed the Gospel.

Bishop Powers began his homily commenting on the providence of when the Fall Conference was scheduled for this year – later than usual – on the first Friday of November and during the week of All Saints and All Souls days.

The days are “reminders of who we are,” the bishop said, “In the communion of saints… Saints to call upon to help us in our walk with Christ… To be the saint that we are to be ourselves, the saint that God created us to be.”

Referencing the conference’s theme, “Life Centered in Christ,” Bishop Powers noted how the readings all spoke of hearing the Word of God, taking it to heart and sharing it with others. He then spoke about St. Charles Borromeo, cardinal archbishop of Milan in Italy in the 16th century, as the Protestant Reformation was sweeping across Northern Europe.
