For many years, the Catholic Diocese of Superior has been fortunate to invite and sponsor international priests to serve our 103 parishes and communities. As we continue to encounter a shortage of diocesan and religious order priests to serve our parishes, the diocese relies greatly on international priests to fill the gap. Sadly, we are facing the reality that these international priests, and other religious workers, serving here and around the country, are being forced to return home after five years due to a change in statutory interpretation made last year by the U.S. Department of State. This change, which resulted in approximately 100,000 immigration cases being moved into the EB-4 category, will have a negative impact on our parishes and local communities.

Tina Strub comes to us with a wealth of knowledge and expertise when it comes to homeschooling. She has helped many families over the years navigate their way through this calling, whether it was for one year or multiple years. She will be the featured speaker at the Diocese of Superior’s third annual Homeschool Conference at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Rice Lake on Saturday, Sept. 28.
