Financial Gifts in Support of the Cathedral's Mission...

God's gift of grace is given freely so that we may respond to his call to be disciples. The ministries and activities of the Cathedral are rich and full.
   Our vibrant parish enjoys privileges and opportunities unique to the Mother Church of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. However, this requires an annual budget in which 62% comes from parish stewardship, offerings, bequests and general or specific gifts from parishioners, as well as beloved friends.
    Would you like to help support the Cathedral's ministries and programs as they respond to God's call to serve, advance, gather, illuminate, welcome and partner?
