Mark your calendar for Wednesday, May 15th and join Bishop Donald Hying for a Mass and Blessing for Rural Life and the upcoming planting season throughout the Diocese of Madison. We gather to celebrate the feast day of Ss. Isidore and Maria, the Patron Saints of farmers and producers of food, fuel and fiber at Holy Rosary Church in Darlington, Wisconsin. Our hosting pastor is parochial administrator of St. Isidore the Farmer Pastorate, Fr. Chris Gernetzke.

Mass will begin at 10:30 AM and will be followed by a Blessing of animals, farm implements, and the soils of our gardens and fields throughout the Diocese of Madison. There will be a light reception following the Mass and Blessing ceremony.
