  • Oblate Retreat & 25th Anniversary of the Oblate Community

    Holy Wisdom Monastery 4200 County Road M, Middleton, WI, United States

  • Advent: To Seek and to Save the Lost (in-person)

    Holy Wisdom Monastery 4200 County Road M, Middleton, WI, United States

  • Advent Series: Ask a Sign of Your God (in-person)

    Holy Wisdom Monastery 4200 County Road M, Middleton, WI, United States
