Pastoral Messages from the Bishop
Bishop Strickland consecrated the diocese to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ and the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary when he was ordained bishop. He asks all the faithful to renew this consecration with him as we continue to journey through this crisis.
Bishop Strickland Assures the Faithful
Bishop Joseph Strickland assures us that, though we are not being fed by Christ’s Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Eucharist in these days, God has not abandoned us. Do not despair! We are here for each other, especially those in the most vulnerable age bracket for the COVID-19 virus. We will post pastoral messages from the Bishop as we all journey together through this challenging time in our history.
