Fire heavily damages Madison cathedral

MADISON -- Smoke billowed out of the roof, spire, and bell tower at the 150-year-old St. Raphael Cathedral early March 14 after a fire broke out there, only a few months after the new spire was raised.

The fire began at 5:32 a.m. and the Madison Fire Department was on the scene by 5:39 a.m., where they worked defensively to control the two-alarm fire, shooting water at it from the hoses of four ladder trucks.

The fire destroyed the roof, which collapsed into the church.

Msgr. Paul J. Swain, rector of the cathedral, said March 15 that from what he could see, the pews were not burned and the altar, walls, mosaic, and sacristy were not substantially damaged, but structural engineers will have to evaluate everything. Monsignor Swain said that other than effects of smoke, the rectory, where all parish records are stored, was "in good shape." Full story ...

Fifth in a series on the Bishop's Appeal

By Linda DeVries
Compass Correspondent

Wautoma is a small town - its population hovers around 2,100 - but the Catholic parish maintains an active, ever-changing ministry.

St. Joseph Parish attends to the needs of this largely agricultural area, serving residents in up to six counties, said Sr. Pat Flanigan, who oversees St. Joseph's Hispanic ministry. The summer months are especially busy, when the population swells with the arrival of migrant workers. At times, she said, the numbers become overwhelming.

Most of the transient labor force comes from Mexico, following the harvest of crops from Florida, California, or Texas to the northern states. Many do not speak English, making it difficult to meet their various physical and spiritual needs. Nearly 99% have Catholic roots. Full story ...
