Our Mission: Proclaim Christ and Make Disciples Through the Sacramental Life of the Church

4 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, During His ministry, Jesus worked and prayed for the unity of His followers, for the unity of the Church, exhorting us to care for each other s physical and spiritual well-being. Today, the Church continues to advance that mission. Here in our archdiocese, we live that call to love every day, making a positive difference in so many lives throughout our communities and our world. Every day our priests, deacons, parish directors, lay ministers, school administrators and teachers, archdiocesan staff and thousands of volunteers put Christ s message into action supported by your generous contributions and prayers. In this report you ll find highlights of just a few of these activities. I invite you to explore what our archdiocese does and see how it matters. Above all, with the assurance of prayers and asking God s blessing upon you and yours, I invite you to love one another. Sincerely yours in Christ, Most Reverend Jerome E. Listecki Archbishop of Milwaukee

6 CATHOLIC IDENTITY 6
7 We are a community of disciples across southeastern Wisconsin, encouraging each other to live in accordance with the teachings of Jesus Christ and His Church. Uniting in our celebration of Sunday Mass, we find joy as we grow in faith, serve those in need, and reach out to love one another. There is a solidarity, which is part of our human nature: we are one family. This concept of solidarity is taught by our Catholic faith and deeply embedded in our Catholic social teachings. ARCHBISHOP JEROME E. LISTECKI LOVE ONE ANOTHER E-NEWSLETTER Evolving leadership through education A Church on a mission to strengthen Catholic identity requires well-trained leaders in every facet of faith life. Initiatives this year focused on education for clergy and laity, to meet today s needs and prepare for tomorrow. Catholic Leadership 360 reports and Leadership sessions helped priests, deacons and lay leaders hone their skills and effectiveness. Pastor s Toolbox resources furthered parish management skills. And Multi-Parish Ministry Institute sessions helped parishes explore ways to work more closely together. Expanding outreach through ordinations In January 2017, our archdiocese saw the historic appointment of two auxiliary bishops by Pope Francis. Most Reverend Jeffrey R. Haines and Most Reverend James T. Schuerman were ordained in March and assist the archbishop in his pastoral ministry and leadership. Archbishop Listecki also appointed eight Vicars General to enhance support for parishes. Finally, two priests and five deacons were ordained this year, with record numbers of men in formation for the priesthood at Saint Francis de Sales Seminary 56 men enrolled, their highest number in 35 years. These and more benefit all parishes, today and tomorrow. Keeping Mass a priority Under the umbrella of the Synod, we continue to prioritize teaching the structure, symbolism and meaning of the Mass in schools and parishes. From videos and podcasts to classes and retreat experience, engaging resources help adults and children fully participate in this source and summit of Catholic identity. Building community with Urban Ministry Urban Ministry focuses missionary action on justice and charity for Milwaukee central city residents facing segregation, poverty, violence and mass incarceration. This year Respect Life Director Anne Haines joined Father Timothy Kitzke, Vicar General for Urban Ministry, in connecting organizations, parishes and individuals to collaborate on workable solutions. Weekly prayer gatherings at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist addressed the pain of racism. The ministry is also engaged in programs such as indigent burial, services for women who ve had an abortion or miscarriage, laundromat access for those in need, and an on-call crisis response team. Today in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, there are 676 diocesan, extern and religious order priests serving in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. 7
8 CATHOLIC IDENTITY Supporting Catholic education As we continue forming faith-filled students through Catholic schools and religious education, the archdiocese is also introducing new education models. Seton Catholic Schools, in its second year of serving students, grew its network of Milwaukee County elementary schools to 13, with more on the horizon. The Siena Catholic Schools of Racine, a collaboration among all Racine parishes to support Catholic elementary, middle and high schools, is gearing up for the 2018 school year. Those who guide our children also continued their own Catholic identity formation this year through certification programs and events such as welcome back days for principals and catechists, provided by the Archdiocesan Office for Schools. Sharing the Good News Contemporary communication tools help us reach far beyond the walls of any one church. This year we revamped the archdiocesan website to enhance access to resources and information; redesigned the Catholic Herald to provide local, relevant content; and updated our video and radio studio to improve broadcast offerings. Our new Two Guys and a Gospel podcast, discussing each Sunday s Gospel reading, gathered more than 30,000 listeners in less than eight months. Safeguarding All of God s family The archdiocese continued the Safeguarding All of God's Family program to protect our children and everyone in the church family from dangers related to sexual abuse. Parents, employees, educators and adult volunteers working with children gain new insights into the issue of sexual abuse in society, become more attuned to the warning signs of abuse, and identify ways to respond. 23,664 = Total enrollment of elementary school students in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. 8

10 EVANGELIZATION 10
11 Evangelizing through our every action, we demonstrate clearly how to love one another. God places at our disposal the simple elements for our spiritual life. He s waiting for you to take your faith seriously. ARCHBISHOP JEROME E. LISTECKI LOVE ONE ANOTHER E-NEWSLETTER Connecting with Catholics Who are our parishioners? Who are our neighbors? MissionInsite takes data from various sources to help parishes and archdiocesan offices answer these questions. Leaders learn to use demographic tools to better understand our people and our mission field and make fully informed decisions that support our priorities. Finding time to pray The 1% Challenge, developed by The Evangelical Catholic in collaboration with the archdiocese, invites everyone to better know Jesus Christ by taking 15 minutes 1 percent of the day to pray with scripture, for 30 days. The Post-Game Review invites participants to spend a few minutes at day s end thinking about how Jesus Christ worked in their lives and preparing for the next day s opportunities. The result is a prayer habit that can change lives. Strengthening families and faith Numerous initiatives help families at every stage face the challenges of modern life. Marriage preparation materials were revised this year to enhance evangelization, speaking to millennials as well as non-practicing Catholics. Culturally diverse offerings include frequent retreats for men, women, teens and families in particular, the Encuentro de Mujeres: Gema de Dios (Gem of God) experience, offering Hispanic women two days of healing, transformation and growth. In our schools, a newly updated Family Life Curriculum policy supports parents in teaching the faith and helps our children better understand marriage and religious vocations, the dignity of human life, friendship and relationships, and moral decision-making. Reaching out to young adults Young adults are invited to encounter Jesus Christ and the Church through Brew City Catholic, an initiative of the St. John Paul II Office for the New Evangelization. Activities encompass college campus ministry, young adult ministry, Theology on Tap, Cor Jesu, and mission trips, as well as small groups, networking and service opportunities. The young adults who participate become evangelists themselves, increasing involvement in their faith and the archdiocese. Embracing diversity We welcome all to the work of evangelization, with Intercultural Ministries services that empower people of all ages and cultures to advance their faith and leadership abilities. Ongoing initiatives encourage ecclesial integration of the Asian and Pacific Islander, Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Black Catholic, Hispanic, and Native American communities. Last year, parishes in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee reported 174 adult baptisms (catechumens), with an additional 405 people received into full communion (candidates) for a total of 579 people welcomed into the Catholic faith. 11

14 STEWARDSHIP 14
15 We recognize that all we possess is a gift from God, and we gratefully give in return not once a week, or once a year, but every day. In sharing our time, treasure and talent, we make it a way of life to love one another. We are called to share our gifts with those who are most in need, because God has generously shared His bounty with us. ARCHBISHOP JEROME E. LISTECKI LOVE ONE ANOTHER E-NEWSLETTER Celebrating your generosity In 2017 the Catholic Stewardship Appeal benefited from record contributions, as people throughout the archdiocese came together to meet the continuing needs of our parishes and communities. We thank all those who make the many services of the archdiocese possible and look forward to your continuing participation. Creating a stewardship focus True stewardship nurtures engagement, revitalizing ministries and creating a faith-filled atmosphere within a parish and across the archdiocese. Initiatives to help parish leadership groups educate and inspire their communities kicked off in 2017 with presentations from author Tracy Welliver to 600 attendees representing the vast majority of southeastern Wisconsin parishes. Throughout the year, parish stewardship staff consulted with nearly every parish, offering baseline assessments, planning guidance, communication plans, seminars and retreats. The Greater Mission pilot was launched to address stewardship in a culturally relevant way in parishes serving our Hispanic/ Latino Catholics. Opening our hearts to those in need Our archdiocese continued its 35-year relationship with La Sagrada Familia Parish in the Dominican Republic, as part of our world outreach efforts. This year s initiatives included a fundraiser to help build latrines for new cinder-block housing, offering dignity to the dwellers. Through Catholic Charities, our archdiocese cares for the people society often forgets. We offer professional social services including supported pregnancy, parenting and adoption; behavioral health counseling; day care and in-home support for frail and disabled adults; legal and resettlement services for refugees and immigrants; and outreach and case management. Every year Catholic Charities helps more than 36,000 people of all faiths grow in confidence, hope and independence. The Archdiocese of Milwaukee was established Nov. 28, It was created as an archbishopric Feb. 12, Next year will begin a year-long celebration to honor the 175th anniversary. 15
16 Looking Ahead We are a Church on a mission, promoting Catholic identity, evangelization and stewardship to create lasting change wherever we live, work and celebrate God s gifts. With hope and His blessing, we continue to love one another. 16
17 Celebrating the past and the future The 175th anniversary of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee presents ample, joyful opportunity to reflect on our history and look ahead with prayer and hope. The official year of celebration runs from November 2018 to November Strengthening our foundation The 2017 appointment of eight Vicars General to assist Archbishop Listecki with his role in governance renews our commitment to serve parishes, and is key to supporting our Church s communal integrity. Five of the eight Vicars are assigned as liaisons to specific territories within the archdiocese, working to create closer ties with parish leaders, improve communications and aid in decisionmaking. This structure assures we have an essential conduit between the archbishop and day-to-day parish life in the modern world. 2,085 = the number of young adults, including college students, connected to the Archdiocese of Milwaukee via Brew City Catholic.
