MILWAUKEE 鈥� 蜜桃影像 President Michael R. Lovell will give the opening remarks at 鈥�175 Alive,鈥� the Archdiocese of Milwaukee鈥檚 175th anniversary celebration at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 4.
President Lovell will reflect on the life of Archbishop John Martin Henni and his connection to 蜜桃影像.
Henni, who arrived in Milwaukee in 1844, was the city鈥檚 first archbishop. Over the course of three decades, his idea for an "academy of learning" transpired into Marquette College, a small liberal arts school for men, named after Rev. Jacques Marquette, S.J., which opened its doors Aug. 28, 1881.
The anniversary celebration begins in Pere Marquette Park, proceeds to St. John鈥檚 Cathedral for an 11 a.m. Mass, and then onto Cathedral Square for a fun-filled family day of music, food and games.
