About Our Pastorate

Into the Deep
- Welcome to Queen of Apostles Pastorate!
  
  I hope you will find it a place where Christ is fully present, where his work is evident, and his compassion is always apparent. We hope that you will feel welcomed here and join us in sharing in the mission of revealing Christ to the world.
  
  We are in the midst of an amazing transition of our parishes: uniting with our sisters and brothers of St. Peter Parish and St Dennis Parish to form one community of faith. That endeavor, initiated by the Diocese of Madison, will require patience, creativity, flexibility and, above all, faith.
  
  We trust that this is the work of the Holy Spirit, leading us into a new and wonderful way of being Church. We do not cease to be who we were; we welcome who we might become.
  
  Whether you have been with this community of faith from its beginning, or you have joined along the way, or you are looking for a place to call “home,” we are a stronger and better parish because of you.
  
  Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me, or Fr. Michael, any staff member or a fellow parishioner with your questions, needs or gifts to share.
  
  Fr. Gary Krahenbuhl

St Dennis
- Saint Dennis is an active and very social parish on Madison’s East Side with nearly 2,500 families, a 260-student school, and a Dominican convent. Saint Dennis Parish, a Catholic Church Centered on Christ, invites and encourages all to live a faith-filled journey with Jesus.
  
  Our professional Pastoral Staff, support staff, and enthusiastic volunteers bring a vibrance to the parish’s many ministries and other areas of parish life.
  
  The Saint Dennis Festival, held on the last full weekend of July each year, is probably the best-attended social event of the year on the entire East Side of Madison. As our major fundraiser and community-builder, it bonds the family of Saint Dennis and assists with the financial needs of the parish.
