The Diocesan Communications Office will soon launch a campaign on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/fallriverdiocese\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/fallriverdiocese\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/FRDiocese\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">X (Twitter)<\/a> accounts sharing some of the accomplishments of the Diocese in the last five years.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:9px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Collaboration, Discussion and Planning: The Fall Bishops&#8217; Meeting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"397\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/de0e85fe-d1ea-4b8f-ba0a-e2cce4862055.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/de0e85fe-d1ea-4b8f-ba0a-e2cce4862055.png 700w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/de0e85fe-d1ea-4b8f-ba0a-e2cce4862055-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/de0e85fe-d1ea-4b8f-ba0a-e2cce4862055-240x136.png 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:9px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This week, I am in Baltimore, Maryland, with my brother Bishops for the 2024 Fall Plenary Assembly. The annual meeting of Bishops is a time for bishops to collaborate, discuss important matters and engage in strategic planning on issues central to the Church&#8217;s mission and the well-being of the faithful. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usccb.org\/meetings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Today\u2019s discussions will be livestreamed here<\/a> and an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usccb.org\/resources\/november-2024-public-session-agenda\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">agenda of the public session can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s agenda was quite full with discussions on the progress of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usccb.org\/news\/2024\/vatican-says-abortion-surrogacy-war-poverty-are-attacks-human-dignity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dignitas Infinita<\/a>, the implementation of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vatican.va\/content\/francesco\/en\/motu_proprio\/documents\/papa-francesco-motu-proprio-20210510_antiquum-ministerium.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Antiquum Ministerium<\/a>; a discussion on caring for the earth, our common home, and eco-conversion as encouraged in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vatican.va\/content\/francesco\/en\/encyclicals\/documents\/papa-francesco_20150524_enciclica-laudato-si.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Laudato Si<\/a>; a follow-up to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usccb.org\/upload\/co-workers-vineyard-lay-ecclesial-ministry-2005.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2005 document on lay ecclesial ministry<\/a>; and the consideration of proposals on liturgical texts. We also heard an update on migration and the 2021-2024 Synod of Bishops. I am particularly interested in hearing about the beatification and canonization of <a href=\"https:\/\/stjoesmhd.com\/sr-annella-zervas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sister Annella Zervas, O.S.B.<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drbarber.org\/announcement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gertrude Agnes Barber<\/a>. These are some of the many issues we have or will discuss this week.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another highlight of this week was the opening Mass for the Fall Plenary Assembly of the Bishops, when we all gathered at the Baltimore Basilica for Mass, celebrated by more 200 hundred Bishops. The <a href=\"https:\/\/americasfirstcathedral.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary<\/a>, also called the Baltimore Basilica, was constructed between 1806 and 1863, and was the first Cathedral in the United States. Recently, the Basilica underwent a full restoration which was completed in 2006. This is one of the most beautiful church buildings in the whole country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:9px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Catholic Educators Fill Their &#8216;Spiritual Tanks&#8217;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"665\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Untitled-design-1-1-1024x665.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Untitled-design-1-1-1024x665.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Untitled-design-1-1-300x195.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Untitled-design-1-1-768x498.png 768w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Untitled-design-1-1-1536x997.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Untitled-design-1-1-240x156.png 240w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Untitled-design-1-1.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Twice during the academic year, I look forward to celebrating Mass for teachers, administrators, and staff of our 17 Catholic schools in the Diocese during professional development days. The first of such was last Monday at Bishop Feehan High School. After remarks by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholicschoolsalliance.org\/leadership-team\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Superintendent Daniel Roy<\/a>, international Christian recording artist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ryantremblaymusic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ryan Tremblay<\/a>, who has performed for Pope Francis and Pope Benedict at World Youth Days, spoke and performed with the Bishop Feehan choir. Ryan, who used to live in neighboring Rhode Island, moved to Nashville, Tennessee, a few years ago with his wife Elizabeth and triplet sons to pursue his music ministry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After Mass and an \u2018On the Road to Emmaus\u201d panel discussion, <a href=\"https:\/\/discovercatholicfaith.org\/people\/liz-cotrupi-pfunder\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Liz Pfunder<\/a>, Catholic musician, songwriter, and speaker, and Deacon Joe McGinley led a discussion on the Healing Power and Grace of Adoration and Confession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fourth grade theology teacher Kellie-Jo Duarte from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ololtaunton.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Our Lady of Lourdes School <\/a>in Taunton offered an interesting perspective on the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cCatholic education allows your children to be who they are in and out of school. Kids should be encouraged to call on the name of Jesus and pray. In school they should be encouraged to always speak the truth. Today&#8217;s children deserve better and in Catholic education, we can pray at any time a child needs. It&#8217;s a beautiful sight as a Religion teacher to see students asking to go (to the Chapel) just to be quiet for a few minutes with the Blessed Sacrament. That could never happen without religious education.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>These professional development days are integral for our school employees as they fulfill a thirst for spiritual development. That is one of the reasons we offer Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament, a reminder that amid the noise of our everyday lives, spending quiet time with Jesus nourishes the soul. One teacher reflected that even Catholic educators need to \u201cfill the tank\u201d and \u201crejuvenate the spirit, and help strengthen our resolve to continue in our ministry of faith in our schools.\u201d That is a profound and honest summary of the day\u2019s activities. These are some of the many ways we can invite God to be present in our hearts and continue to guide us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Untitled-design-2-1-1024x768.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Untitled-design-2-1-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Untitled-design-2-1-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Untitled-design-2-1-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Untitled-design-2-1-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Untitled-design-2-1-240x180.png 240w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Untitled-design-2-1.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Help Expand Access to Catholic Education<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:9px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"591\" height=\"361\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Face-Dinner.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Face-Dinner.png 591w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Face-Dinner-300x183.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fallriverdiocese.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Face-Dinner-240x147.png 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 591px) 100vw, 591px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:9px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Through our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catholicschoolsalliance.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Catholic schools<\/a>, families throughout the Diocese of Fall River and beyond are offered a choice when choosing an elementary, middle, or high school.
