Welcome Message from Bishop Lucas |
|
Dear Friends in Christ,
I am convinced that God has a special place in our Church for each of you. Our diocese has been blessed for 150 years with the dedicated witness of priests, sisters and religious brothers. Diocesan life has been enriched by the faithfulness of generous married couples and by those who have followed Jesus as single lay faithful.
However, there has never been anyone quite like you before. We might say our diocesan church has been waiting for 150 years for you to come along. I will ask the Holy Spirit to help you know how Jesus is calling you to follow him in the Catholic Church. Try to listen to the call of Jesus with a generous heart.

Welcome Message from Father House |

 My Dear Friends,
It is not a coincidence that our Lord has chosen to make us in His own image and likeness. Each and every one of us has a part to play in the life of the world and in the life of the Church. Our Lord has called each of us to holiness; this call is our universal vocation. With that universal call, each of us is also invited to once again play a specific part in creation. What might your part be?
How is God calling you to live out your life in service to Him and His people? Some people live the single life as a witness to the holiness of God in the world. For many, God call to them is to the sacred bond of marriage. For others though, there is a “different” call. God is still calling holy men and women to serve Him and the Church through sacred orders (bishops, priests and deacons) and the religious life. Could God possibly be calling you to something “different”? Consider the priesthood or religious life as the way that God might be calling you to follow Him!
