Walking with Purpose continues to be a blessing in the lives of so many women of every age. A group of them recently went to see founder of WWP, Lisa Brenninkmeyer (pictured center).

Transfiguration has started an important initiative called the Catholic Watchmen. Men attending the Archdiocesan Men’s Conference were initiated into the Catholic Watchmen with the guidance of Bishop Cozzens. The Catholic Watchmen includes the Midnight Watchmen, monthly gatherings and small groups on Saturday mornings.

Our St. Pat’s Dinner kicked off with a bagpiper to welcome our guests. With his finale being Amazing Grace. We welcomed the Irish Band, Rupulai, to our annual St. Pat’s dinner!

In January, Transfiguration youth joined hundreds in standing up for life at the ProLife Rally in front of the State Capitol.
