Do you like to take photos? Write? Or perhaps social media is your thing. Then why not share your talents with us?.

Perhaps God is calling you to put them to use by helping us spread the Gospel and the awareness of the good works performed by our ministries and parishes.

The Communications Ministry is in the early stages of creating a volunteer group.

Some initial tasks will be to report on upcoming parish events that would be of interest to the larger diocesan community, as well as contributing content such as photos, historical information, and other news and announcements from your parish, school, or religious group.

If you would like to find out more, please email us by clicking the link below. Let us know who you are and how you would be willing to help.

Living the Longing: Finding God in the Quiet of Advent- A Reflection by Bishop Reidy

I love the Advent Season. I love it not just for what it leads to – the joyful celebration of Christ’s birth at Bethlehem. I love Advent for itself: a season of longing, expectation, and hope. I think that, in a way, the entirety of life is like Advent. There is, deep within us, a longing for God and, as Saint Augustine says, our hearts are restless until they rest in God. That longing and restlessness will not be entirely satisfied until we reach Heaven. Until then, in this life, many things compete for our attention. Those things variously attract us, distr...

Padre Pio’s Devotional Joy Leads Us to the Christmas Open House

*Padre Pio and the Humble Mystery of the Incarnation* For Padre Pio, the heart of December was never noise or celebration—it was wonder. He was profoundly moved by the mystery of the Incarnation, the moment when God chose to enter the world in the smallest and simplest of forms. The humility of the Christ Child touched him deeply. Witnesses often noted that even the mention of the Infant Jesus brought a tenderness to his face and a quiet reverence to his voice. Though Padre Pio did not write extensively about the liturgical days leading up to Christmas, th...

Lord God, on this day of Thanksgiving, we ask your blessings on our family, our friends, our home, our health and on the food we are about to eat. We thank you for this time together and the many gifts that you have given us. Help us to remember in this time of bounty those less fortunate.
