ARCHDIOCESE OF MILWAUKEEOFFICE OF THE ARCHBISHOP
August 2010
To Whom It May Concern:
Paul Koleske conducts parish missions, concerts, retreats, talks and youth ministry events throughout the United States. Paul is an active member at St. Paul the Apostle in Racine, Wisconsin, which is a parish of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee.
While I do not know Paul personally, I have consulted with Father William Dietzler, the pastor at St. Paul the Apostle Parish. Fr. Dietzler stated that he has seen Paul grow into a mature and deep faith. He is an active parishioner who occasionally shares his music at Mass and has also performed a full Christmas concert for the parish.
Fr. Dietzler and others have indicated that Paul’s presentations are a combination of music and reflections on his personal journey, Scripture and his devotion to Mary. Fr. Dietzler said he would recommend him without reservation. Paul also sent me numerous letters from pastors, parish staff members and parishioners from parishes where he presented and performed. All of these people found him and his music to be inspiring and very faith-filled.
Paul has developed a Catholic music and speaking ministry, and I am encouraged by the number of people he has touched through this ministry.
With assurances of prayer, I am,
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Jerome E. Listecki Most Reverend Jerome E. Listecki Archbishop of Milwaukee
