Safe Environment Week, wear blue April 20, 2026 The Archdiocese of Milwaukee recognizes April 19–25 as Safe Environment Awareness Week. Each year in the month of April, which is recognized around the country as child abuse prevention month, parishes and schools around the Archdiocese dedicate a week to elevating the general awareness of the Church’s efforts to keep our children safe. We want people to know of the commitment we have in maintaining safe environments in the parishes and schools through various safeguarding efforts, like child abuse prevention training and adhering to mandatory reporting laws. This year join Holy Family to mark the support for child abuse prevention by wearing the color blue on Monday, April 20. Wearing blue helps remind and encourage others to prevent child abuse and support healthy children and families. Changes coming to Presentation’s Mass time Beginning the weekend of May 30/31, Sunday Mass at Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church will be offered at 10:30 am rather than 10:00 am in order to give priests more time to get between churches. Thank you for your flexibility and patience. Fr. Edward Sippel applications due May 8, 2026 In honor of Fr.

By studying her presence in the Gospels–and through the lens of Catholic art–we can better understand Mary’s role in salvation history and appreciate her advocacy on our behalf.
