A Message from Bishop Vásquez

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

As we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, let us rejoice! At Christmas we reflect on the mystery of the Lord’s incarnation and his presence among us. Like the humble shepherds, let us come to the manger to adore the infant Lord with hearts full of gratitude. As we celebrate the Eucharist this Christmas season, may you and your loved ones be filled with hope, peace, and joy. I offer you God’s blessings now and in the new year!

A Year of Jubilee

A Year of Jubilee, called by the Holy Father, Pope Francis, began on December 24, 2024. As part of this year-long celebration, Bishop Vásquez has identified 11 Pilgrimage Sites throughout the diocese for the faithful to participate in with the opportunity to receive a plenary indulgence.
