Wisconsin bishop: Move all tabernacles to center

For the liturgy, "through which the work of our redemption is accomplished," (1) most of all in the divine sacrifice of the Eucharist, is the outstanding means whereby the faithful may express in their lives, and manifest to others, the mystery of Christ and the real nature of the true Church.

Wisconsin bishop: Move all tabernacles to center

Bishop Robert Morlino has directed all pastors in the Diocese of Madison, Wisconsin, to move tabernacles to the center of their churches.

Since taking the reins of the Madison diocese in 2003, Bishop Morlino has encouraged priests to relocate tabernacles that had been moved to side chapels. Now he has issued instructions for all tabernacles to be centrally located, telling pastors to make the change, if necessary, by 2018.

“Obviously the reason is because he wants to reiterate that this is the living God residing in the tabernacle,” a diocesan spokesman explained.
