MONROE - A visitation and funeral services have been scheduled for Monsignor Thomas Campion at Monroe High School.
A Mass of Christian Burial for Campion, 79, Monroe, who died Friday, will be held at 10 a.m., Saturday, Nov. 27, at the school. A visitation will be held from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday Nov. 26.
Campion, who was ordained as a priest in 1957 and as Monsignor in 2000, began the annual Apostolate to the Handicapped more than four decades ago. Part of that effort included weekly Masses, broadcast every Sunday by WISC-TV Channel 3 in Madison.
The popular Christmas and spring dinners started in January 1968 at Holy Name Seminary in Madison. The dinners were moved to Monroe in 1971, when Campion was named chaplain at St. Clare Hospital, now Monroe Clinic.
