Green Bay Appleton, WI, October 26, 2026 —
Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey Grob has apologized after a video showing him and other bishops praying with President Trump at the White House was posted online without their consent for public distribution, according to the available account. The apology was published on the Archdiocese of Milwaukee website.
The account does not provide the date of the prayer gathering, when the video was posted, or who published it. It also does not include the wording of Grob’s apology, explain how the video came to be distributed, or identify the other bishops shown. No further response from the White House or the archdiocese was included in the information provided.
The circumstances described distinguish the prayer gathering from the later online distribution of the video: the stated concern was that it was shared publicly without the bishops’ consent for that distribution. The available information does not say whether the bishops consented to the recording itself, and it does not detail any steps taken after the video appeared online.
Grob’s apology is the only response specified in the account. Without the apology’s text or additional information about the video’s publication, the precise nature of his statement and any further consequences remain unclear. The Archdiocese of Milwaukee website is identified as the place where the apology was issued, but no link or publication date was provided.
