A Time for Fortitude: Stronger Priests, Stronger Parishes, Stronger Church is Bishop da Cunha's vision for the future of our Diocese centered on strengthening our priests. This three-year plan (2025-2027) focuses our local Church on moving forward in our relationship with Christ by actively working toward bringing to our priests more stability, hope, holiness, and wellness. Strengthening our priests will, in turn, strengthen all parishes and ministries in holiness and vitality.
From inspiring lay leaders and celebrating Holy Cross Parish’s 60 years of faith to hearing from two seminarians discerning the priesthood, Bishop da Cunha reflects on the communities, witnesses and vocations that strengthen the Church.
