Diocesan & Catholic News
The Catholic Diocese of Superior is a people of diverse ethnic and cultural traditions called in unity by the love of Christ to proclaim the Gospel, celebrate the sacraments, and give witness through joyful lives of prayer & service in Northern Wisconsin and the world.
What is CRUX news?
Crux offers the very best in smart, wired, and independent coverage of the Vatican and the Catholic Church, explaining not only what is happening, but why it matters—religiously, politically, and culturally—for Catholics and non-Catholics alike.
The Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network is a Pontifical Work entrusted to the Society of Jesus, representing over 90 countries, forming a spiritual community of more than 22 million people who seek to live each day with availability to God’s mission.
Each month, we are encouraged to reflect on a special prayer intention that helps focus our prayers on important needs throughout the world. These intentions inspire us to see others with compassion, serve with generosity, and grow in our relationship with Christ as we strive to love with His heart.

Regarding Scam Solicitations:
If anyone contacts you through any form of communication (such as calls, texts, or emails) claiming to be me, someone from the Diocese (Chancery Office personnel), a priest, parish employee or anyone else honestly affiliated with the Catholic Diocese of Superior asking you to send money or get gift cards of any kind, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, DO NOT RESPOND TO THEIR REQUEST. IT IS A SCAM.
ANYONE OFFICIALLY CONNECTED TO OR ACTING ON BEHALF OF THE DIOCESE OR ANY OF THE PARISHES OR ANY OTHER DIOCESAN SPONSORED ORGANIZATION WILL NOT CONTACT YOU IN THIS MANNER, BECAUSE IF THEY DID, IT WOULD BE GROUNDS FOR THEIR IMMEDIATE DISMISSAL.
For some time now these types of SCAMS have become more prevalent and more sophisticated in their making the request look real. LET ME REPEAT AGAIN, NO ONE OFFICIALLY CONNECTED TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN THE DIOCESE OF SUPERIOR WILL EVER CONTACT YOU IN THIS MANNER TO EITHER ASK A FAVOR OR SOLICIT FUNDS.
NOTE: This does not say a parish can’t solicit gift cards to be used for raffle prizes etc. However, in this case the cards should be dropped off at the parish office.
