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.
In this week’s Bishop’s Blog, Bishop da Cunha reflects on how new priest fraternity groups are strengthening the bonds of brotherhood in the Diocese that sustain priestly ministry and shares information about Divine Mercy Sunday and new ways our diocesan community can stay connected to the life of the universal Church. He also invites the faithful to join Pope Leo in a prayer vigil for peace.
As we celebrate Easter, Bishop da Cunha offers a message to the Diocese. Watch his Easter greeting on video (available in 3 languages) or read his Easter letter.
