Connecting the Diocese is one of the ways the Diocese of La Crosse seeks to facilitate encounters with Christ through stories of truth, beauty, and goodness. Produced in conjunction with Relevant Radio, this weekly program helps unite our geographically vast and predominantly rural diocese, ensuring that Catholics across our 19 counties feel connected to the mission and life of the Church.

Each episode features engaging conversations with clergy, diocesan leaders, Catholic educators, and parishioners, offering insights on faith, evangelization, and the work of the Church in our communities. The Most Reverend Gerard W. Battersby, Bishop of La Crosse, joins the program monthly as a guest, sharing his reflections and vision for the diocese. Other episodes highlight the lived faith of those serving in our parishes, schools, and ministries, demonstrating how the Gospel is active in everyday life.

By sharing stories of faith in action, Connecting the Diocese strengthens the bonds of our Catholic community, fostering unity and encouragement, no matter where listeners are located.

New episodes air weekly on Relevant Radio and are also available for streaming on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Tune in to hear how the Holy Spirit is moving in our diocese—and be inspired to live out your faith more ful
