One big event in 2025 will be the installation of the Most Rev. Jeffrey S. Grob (center) as the 12th Archbishop of Milwaukee on Jan. 14. Bishop Grob was present when Archbishop Jerome E. Listecki, left, celebrated Mass at the Mary Mother of the Church Pastoral Center in St. Francis on Nov. 4, the day that Pope Francis announced the appointment and accepted Archbishop Listecki’s retirement (Photo by David Bernacchi)
