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.
We live in a time that calls for clarity and compassion and we are reminded of the importance of speaking truth with respect, trusting in God’s mercy, and strengthening the bonds of community. From reflecting on the Holy Father’s call for peace to celebrating Divine Mercy Sunday and gathering across our Diocese, these moments point us back to faith, hope, and our shared responsibility to one another.
Bishop da Cunha has announced the appointments of several priests in the Diocese and the retirements of two pastors
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.
