Today, the Catholic bishops of Wisconsin released a statement on federal immigration enforcement.

December 18, 2025 We, the bishops of Wisconsin, reaffirm the recent special message by the United States bishops regarding ongoing federal immigration enforcement. Immigration is a profoundly complex issue. On the one hand, the Catholic Church naturally upholds a country’s right to maintain its bo...

Game on!

Archbishop Grob is betting brats that the Milwaukee Brewers will edge out the Chicago Cubs this week. And when Milwaukee wins, Cardinal Cupich and the Archdiocese of Chicago are prepared to send pizza north of the border.

Pray for a good safe series of baseball games for everyone!

Please join me in praying for the victims and families of those who were killed and injured in the shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church and School in Minneapolis this morning. Our hearts break for the families and communities who have been traumatized by violence, especially during the sacred celebration of Mass. As Psalm 34:19 tells us: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, saves those whose spirit is crushed.”

During times like this we need to lean into our faith, hold each other up, and be compassionate to each other, recognizing the dignity of each person we encounter.

Know that my prayers are also with our teachers, staff and students for a safe and blessed school year. The start of a school year is supposed to be a time of anticipation and new beginnings — I hope that is not diminished by this tragedy.

Archbishop, Archdiocese of Milwaukee

A living history lesson! Catholic school children around the archdiocese found many ways to learn about the conclave and the announcement of a new pope. Read all about it in our story at the link.

Students at St. John Vianney Parish School in Brookfield watch news coverage of the election of the first American-born pope, Leo XIV, on Thursday, May 8. (Submitted photos) A mock conclave, wearing red and watching live broadcasts together — these were just a few of the many ways Archdiocese of M...

Just what was it like to be present when the white smoke and Pope Leo XIV appeared? Check out our former worship director's first-hand account!

Nuntio vobis gaudium magnum. Habemus Papam! “I announce to you a great joy. We have a pope!” I’ve heard those words before on television after the elections of both Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis — but this time, I heard those words in person, as a graduate student at a pontifical univer...

Find out what some Archdiocese of Milwaukee Catholics have to say about our new pope!

Before this morning, Cardinal Robert F. Prevost wasn’t a particularly well-known Catholic figure, but now he is Pope Leo XIV — one of the most famous and influential men in the world. This is certainly exciting news for locals, given that he grew up in Chicago, served in various positions there ...

Plan to join Archbishop Jeffrey Grob for a Mass of Thanksgiving for Pope Leo XIV next week! See details in the post.

We rejoice with the Universal Church for what God has done in giving us a new successor to St. Peter. The wonderful qualities that already have been seen in the life and ministry of our new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, shown by his vision to leave his homeland and to go on mission in service to people of another land, renew in us our own call to be missionaries of the Gospel.

The choice of the name Leo, starting with Leo the Great (Leo the first) as a great reformer of the Church, up to Leo XIII, whose writings about the Church’s social doctrine, especially in Rerum Novarum, recall for us our own commitment to peace and justice.

We honor the memory of Pope Francis and now rejoice with Leo XIV, asking God to grant him the wisdom and peace of heart to shepherd well. As Americans, it is especially gratifying to witness the history of the first American Pope.

I invite people to join me in prayer and celebration as I celebrate a Mass of Thanksgiving on Tuesday, May 13, at 6 p.m., at our Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist.

Most Reverend Jeffrey S. Grob
Archbishop of Milwaukee
