Mahdere Bekele • February 27, 2024

In January, Jane Bernhardt celebrated her 100th birthday. In addition to being an active member of her parish CCW at St. Charles Borromeo in Cassville, Wisconsin, she has served as a past Grant Vicariate CCW President  from 1972-1974 and a past Madison Diocesan CCW President from 1991-1992. She attended the Grant Vicariate meeting in May of 2022 and, at 98, was the oldest member in attendance. Jane spends a lot of time with family and friends and is not able to attend all of our meetings, but studies all of our reports at each meeting she attends.
