A Time For Fortitude

Stronger Priests, Stronger Parishes, Stronger Church

On December 8, 2024, Bishop da Cunha released a new Pastoral Letter to the entire Diocese titled “A Time for Fortitude: Stronger Priests, Stronger Parishes, Stronger Church.” In this letter, the Bishop outlines his vision for the future of our Diocese, which focuses on strengthening our priests. He introduces a three-year plan for 2025-2027 aimed at enhancing our local Church’s relationship with Christ by providing our priests with more stability, hope, holiness, and wellness. The Bishop emphasizes that flourishing priests lead to flourishing parishes and ministries; therefore, by strengthening our priests, we will also enhance the holiness and vibrancy of all parishes and ministries.
