I am grateful to God for the gift of Catholic education and was honored to be with the St. Wenceslaus School community in Dodge Sunday, as they marked the completion of their 115th and final school year. We celebrated Mass together, and everyone appreciated the beautiful music provided from the St. Wenceslaus children's choir. We heard reflections from both adults and a graduating sixth-grader about the importance of St. Wenceslaus School in their lives. I was grateful for the presence of three Notre Dame sisters, the order that served the school for many years, at the liturgy and reception. May God bless the students, staff, and families, as we go forward in faith.

Pope Leo XIV has published his first encyclical letter Magnifica humanitas (Magnificent Humanity). I encourage you to take the time to read what the Holy Father is sharing with us about artificial intelligence and human dignity. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss his encyclical with many of you during the summer. You can read the encyclical at vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/en/encyclicals/documents/20260515-magnifica-humanitas.html

Please join me in praying for our seminarian Caleb Kosch of St. Anthony Parish in Columbus as he prepares to be ordained a deacon next Friday, May 29th, at the Cathedral of St. Cecilia. This is a joyful step on Caleb's journey toward the priesthood. May God bless his service as a deacon and make the Lord Jesus known through Caleb's ministry at the altar, his preaching, and his works of charity.
