A staggering economy pushed a capital campaign for a new cathedral for the Madison Diocese back by at least a year, the diocese said in a statement Friday.
“The next year will allow me the opportunity to address these questions: as to what a cathedral is and why one is needed in Madison and why the inclusion of campus ministry in our capital campaign is a top priority,” Bishop Robert Morlino said in the diocesan statement.
In his column Thursday in the Catholic Herald, Morlino cited a consultant’s feasibility study, which included a survey of thousands of local church members on their priorities for the diocese.
