BISHOP’S PASTORAL LETTER

A Time for Fortitude: Stronger Priests, Stronger Parishes, Stronger Church is Bishop da Cunha’s 5th Pastoral Letter to the Diocese, released on December 8, 2024. In the Pastoral Letter, the Bishop details his vision for the future of our Diocese, which is centered on strengthening our priests. He introduced a three-year plan (2025-2027) to focus our local Church on moving forward in our relationship with Christ by actively working towards bringing to our priests more stability, hope, holiness, and wellness. As flourishing priests lead to flourishing parishes and ministries, strengthening our priests will, in turn, strengthen all parishes and ministries in holiness and vitality. This initiative includes six strategic priorities that will be implemented between 2025 and 2027.

Please take an opportunity to review the letter at the diocesan website (written in English, Portuguese or Spanish), as well as other resorces, at:
