Bereavement Ministry provides resources, support and comfort for those who are grieving. Special retreats are planned for those who are widowed and training is provided for parish staff and volunteers who want to implement bereavement ministry in their own communities.

Campus Ministry serves two sites: UW-Milwaukee and UW-Whitewater. Campus ministers serve young people at a unique time in their lives and strive to make the Church meaningful to them as students, always keeping before them the reality that campus life is temporary. Upon leaving school, whether for vacations or to begin their careers, Church comes to life for them primarily through their connection to a parish.

Catholic Charities and caring go hand in hand. As a human service agency dedicated to meeting specific needs of the family of God, Catholic Charities helps the archdiocese respond lovingly to the Gospel imperative to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, welcome the stranger, and visit the sick within the following ministries:

• Adult Care Ministries provide services to adults, the elderly and the disabled. Programs operate from these philosophical premises: to uphold the individual and to ensure that clients maintain their independence. Services include adult day care services, in-home support services for the elderly, case management, aging conference, information and referrals on elder issues, group homes for adults with disabilities, and in-home supportive living programs for persons with cognitive and physical disabilities.
• Family & Children's Ministries provide services to families and children facing challenges. The programs focus on bringing stability to the lives of children and their families and increasing individual self-sufficiency. Services include pregnancy counseling, pre-natal care coordination, infant foster care, adoption placement, special needs adoption, step-parent and relative adoption, adoption search, parenting support services, supportive parenting program for disabled parents, companion families program, children cope with divorce program, individual, marriage and family counseling, Catholic school-based counseling, refugee resettlement services, legal services for immigrants, and outreach services.
• Social Ministries works in valued relationships with parishes and other Catholic and non-Catholic organizations to advocate for justice according to Catholic Social Teaching. Efforts include JustFaith formational workshops, parish refugee sponsorship programs, Katrina relief coordination, Catholic Campaign for Human Development, parish social ministry support, consultation and coordination.

The Office of Deacon Services is the liaison between the archbishop and the diaconate involving post-ordination matters. Some of these issues involve personnel assignments, personal problems and concerns, wives' programs and other formational programs.

The Office of Ecumenical and Interfaith Concerns, which is wholly funded by the CSA, works with parishes and other archdiocesan entities to provide resources and support for ecumenical and interfaith education, dialogue, and activity. Speakers are available to present to parishes and groups on a variety of ecumenical and interfaith topics. In addition, the office collaborates with ecumenical and interfaith organizations such as the Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee, the Milwaukee Area Interfaith Youth Forum (in collaboration with Tomorrow's Present) and the Wisconsin Council of Churches as well as providing support for local and community-wide programs that enhance ecumenical and interfaith understanding.

The Ministry Formation Institute, which is also part of the John Paul II Center, provides distinct ministry preparation for two ministry formation programs: permanent diaconate and non-degreed lay ministry specialization. The Institute provides discernment for men seeking a vocational calling to the diaconate; a screening and selection process for men who through some transforming/formative experience encounter Christ and seek a deeper, permanent response to a perceived call to be of service to God's people through ministry in the Church, and opportunities for men and women to obtain specialized training in lay ministry beyond the certificate level (e.g. Christian Formation Leadership, Parish Office Administration, Liturgy, etc).

The Office of Parish Consultants works with parish leaders in many ways, such as assisting in problem solving, conflict resolution or needs assessment; providing leadership training, council and committee in-service, retreats and days of reflection; facilitating planning, collaboration, consolidation or transition efforts. An important role for each parish consultant is to cultivate relationships with the parish leaders of his/her districts in order to understand their parish needs and refer them to appropriate central office staff for specific services. Likewise, they help archdiocesan staff understand the characteristics and needs of particular parishes and link staff to them appropriately.

The Office for Parish and School Financial Services serves parish and school staffs, finance committees and parish organizations by providing policies and procedures for accounting and general business functions, performing financial reviews of parishes, and collecting and analyzing budgets and financial statements. Much of the director's time is spent in the parishes, meeting with pastors, reviewing parish books, and helping finance committees better understand their responsibilities as stewards of parish resources.

The Offices for Schools provide service in numerous ways to Catholic schools. Consultation, training and publications are offered for theology and academic curricula, personnel and business policies, sacramental preparation and service projects. The Schools Office also administers the accreditation process for all Catholic elementary schools.

The Office of Catechesis and Youth Ministry focuses on supporting the work of parishes and schools in the formation of children, youth and their families. It also provides continuing education, training and support for directors of religious education, youth ministers, and other lay leadership involved in parish religious education programs.

Saint Francis de Sales Seminary receives CSA funds to prepare men for the priesthood in the Roman Catholic tradition. In 2007, the Seminary moved forward with a bold new formation model, collaborating with Sacred Heart School of Theology in Hales Corners to educate and form seminarians. Lay graduate students are being formed at local Catholic universities. As a community of prayer worship and learning, Saint Francis Seminary provides the spiritual foundation, theological understanding and pastoral competencies required to serve collaboratively and effectively in a Church and society of many races and cultures. Through its students and through its library services, the Seminary also extends its resources to the archdiocese and to the wider church.

The Vocations Officesupports parish personnel in the identification, encouragement and invitation of qualified candidates to serve as parish priests within the archdiocese. It provides supportive services to parish vocation teams and committees and helps young men and women in the discernment of a priestly or religious vocation. In collaboration with the Vocation Ministers of the Milwaukee Archdiocese (VMMA), it participates in vocation education and awareness programs for priesthood and religious life.
