The Diocese of Milwaukee today covers the southern third of the state
from Kenosha and Port Washington on Lake Michigan, to Prairie du Chien
on the Mississippi River (an east-west span of 180 miles), and from
Wisconsin Dells south to the Illinois border (a north-south span of 100
miles). There are six Convocations which are used a a means of
gathering members of the diocese on a regional basis for formational,
pastoral or administrative occasions. The Diocese of Milwaukee actively seeks to grow in faith as disciples of Jesus Christ through the work of its 58 parishes, 177 clergy, some 15,000 communicants, and through programs for both personal and parochial renewal. It has established a covenant relationship with the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee and the ELCA Synods of Southern Wisconsin. A thriving companion diocese relationship is maintained with the Episcopal Diocese of Egypt. Both clergy and lay people serve in a variety of leadership roles within the Diocese, the greater church, their communities, and beyond. |
