Beginning on July 1, 2023, the 102 parishes of the diocese of Madison, WI began working together in 30 "pastorates" or groupings of parishes, each under the leadership of a team of priests (with a few exceptions). By joining forces and coming together in these new ways we are positioning ourselves to more fruitfully and effectively share the Gospel both now and into the future.
In Jesus Christ, we have all received the promise of divine forgiveness and the hope of salvation. The mission of the Church is to proclaim this good news of the Gospel to every person and to make disciples.

To more effectively advance this mission, every pastorate is called by God to become a community of committed followers of Christ, where they reverently worship God, hear and proclaim the fullness of the Gospel, help each other on the path of ongoing conversion, faithfully celebrate the Sacraments, serve those in need, and form the next generation of missionary disciples, all for the greater glory of God and the salvation of souls.
