As a way of imitating Jesus, perhaps we can all better recognize the importance of Lent as A Time to Share. Bishop Larry J. Kulick explains that acts of charity are central to the season that is upon us, and your support of the Diocesan Lenten Appeal is critical to the Mission of the Church!

Every 25 years, the Universal Church proclaims a Jubilee Year to encourage the faithful to embark on pilgrimages, repent of their sins, forgive the sins of others and renew a focus on their spiritual lives. On Christmas Eve, the Holy Father, Pope Francis, will begin the 2025  Jubilee Year of Hope, “Pilgrims of Hope,” with the official Opening of the Holy Door at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome.
