The event is titled: Blessed are the Compassionate...Celebrating Two Wisconsin Women Missioners. The event will focus on Mary J McCormick, from Holy Rosary Parish in Milwaukee, who was a missioner in Bogota, Columbia, and Carol Piette, M.M., from St. Mary Parish in Appleton, who was a missioner in Chile and El Salvador. The event highlights a new kind of beatitude:
"Blessed are the compassionate, for they will show us the way."

The event will feature a scripture reflection by Bishop Richard Sklba; Personal tributes by Mary McCormick's family and Joan Ratermann, MM; and a "Call to Compassion" by Margaret Swedish.

The event will take place at Holy Rosary Church of Three Holy Women Parish at 2011 N. Oakland Ave. Milwaukee, WI from 1:45 to 4:30 pm on December 6, 2009. (Church is on the corner of Oakland and Lafayette. The parking lot is behind the church off of Bartlett Ave.)
