What a beautiful and inspiring evening at the 2026 Bishop’s Legacy Circle Mass and Dinner in Cameron and Rice Lake yesterday!
As the Diocese of Superior celebrates the eighth year of the Bishop’s Legacy Circle and Bishop Powers marks ten years as Bishop, the evening was filled with gratitude, faith, and hope for the future of the Church in Northern Wisconsin.
Guests were inspired by a moving presentation from Meredith Oman and Danielle Hendricks, highlighting the impact of their faith, generosity, and discipleship in our Diocese. Fr. David Neuschwander also introduced several seminarians currently discerning the priesthood, a powerful reminder of the hope and renewal taking place within the Church. Fr. David stated he believes it is the youngest group of seminarians the Diocese has had.
Bishop Powers reflected on the many ministries made possible through the generosity of Legacy Circle members, including support for vocations, Catholic schools initiatives, evangelization, retreats, international priests, and the Diocese’s “Maintenance to Mission” pastoral initiative.
“We are grateful to all the members who continue to support the Bishop’s Legacy Circle and partner in Christ’s mission each year,” said Steve Tarnowski, Director of Development. “Their generosity is helping lead people to holiness and strengthening the future of the Church for generations to come.”
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your unwavering support and partnership.” Bishop James Powers
