📜 Ordination in the Diocese of Wisconsin
📍 Fond du Lac Cathedral
Clergy and lay leaders from across the Diocese of Wisconsin gathered to celebrate ordination—marking a holy moment of call, commitment, and communal prayer as new clergy were set apart for ministry in the Church. Surrounded by mentors, bishops, deacons, priests, and the faithful, the ordinands were prayed over, blessed, and sent forth to serve God’s people with humility and courage. Ordination is never an individual act, but a shared one: the Church recognizing what God has already been shaping, and promising to walk together into what comes next.

📍 St. Francis House, UW Madison
Canon Scott recently visited Saint Francis House at UW-Madison. He preached at the student liturgy, with the chaplain, the Reverend Bobbi Kraft, as the provider and celebrant. He joined students for dinner and some conversation before making his way home. On his way out, Mother Bobbi took a picture of him standing next to the student center printing machine, dubbed ”the Reverend Canon”.
