To strengthen our priests so as to foster vibrant and holy parishes and ministries.

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.
