Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

As we celebrate the month of July, our hearts are filled with gratitude for the many blessings God has bestowed upon our nation and our faith community. This year holds special significance as we commemorate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States—a milestone that invites us to reflect on our nation's history, honor the sacrifices of those who came before us, and renew our commitment to the values of freedom, justice, and human dignity.

During this summer season, may we continue to grow in faith, strengthen our bonds as a diocesan family, and be living witnesses to Christ's love in our homes, neighborhoods, and nation. Let us entrust our country and our community to the care of the Blessed Virgin Mary, asking her intercession as we strive to build a future marked by hope and charity.

May God bless you and your loved ones, and may God continue to bless the United States of America.

Cathy, Deacon Louie, Maria, Liliana, Andy,

Cindy, Rosario, and Beth

We’d love to hear from you! Let us know how we can better support you and your parish in our shared mission of evangelization—to bring others to an encounter with Christ and into deepen appreciation for our rich Catholic faith.

Caregiving is one of the hardest jobs you’ll ever love.

Yet so often, the caregivers are left feeling drained, guilty, and alone. We believe caregivers deserve care too.
