Rural Life Mass
The Archdiocese of Milwaukee is developing and expanding ministry to rural communities in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. Archbishop Jeffrey Grob grew up milking Brown Swiss cows on a dairy farm in Cross Plains, just west of Madison, and has a special care for our rural communities.
To launch this ministry, Archbishop is celebrating our first Celebration of Rural Life Mass on Saturday, May 30, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. at St. Joseph Catholic Church, Big Bend, WI.
Come join us in this celebration!
