In the midst of the Christmas rush, we invite families to come together to celebrate Advent: the season of preparation for the coming of Jesus at Christmas.
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.
This week, Bishop da Cunha reflects on the faithful service of our 2025 Marian Medal recipients and invites us to enter Advent with renewed hope. From honoring parishioners who embody Christ’s love to celebrating the Immaculate Conception and hearing John the Baptist’s call to prepare our hearts, let us look within and welcome the light of Christ this Advent season.
"Your generosity will help sustain the shepherds who have devoted their lives to serving God’s people..." Bishop da Cunha
As Thanksgiving arrives and Advent begins, this week’s Bishop's blog reflects on the generosity of Bishop Feehan students and the Church’s call to awaken our hearts for the coming of Christ. Read more, including Thanksgiving messages in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
