In this latest update, Bishop Louis Tylka discusses the state of our mission, reminding us that although we have many challenges ahead, through the Five Foundations we have much to be hopeful for as we embark on a renewed path forward to go out and proclaim the Gospel, making and growing disciples of Jesus Christ and becoming a more vibrant, mission-driven Church, alive with the Holy Spirit.

The Vocation Ministry needs your help to continue to build a culture of vocations in our parishes and our diocese. Consider taking the traveling tapestry at Historic St. Patrick’s or the traveling crucifix at Holy Trinity home for a week. The sign up is located at the St. Therese statue at St. Patrick’s and in the back of the church at Holy Trinity. The process is simple – sign up, take the tapestry or crucifix into your home for a week, pray during the week and return at the end of the week. You can pray the rosary, the chaplet of divine mercy, or any prayer of your choosing. Here is one possibility:
O Mary, St. Therese ever turned to you in love, telling you her desires in simplicity and trust, and begging you to speak of them to Jesus. With her, we ask you to offer our prayers to your Son for an increase in vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life in our diocese. Place within the hearts of men and women a love which is strong enough to lead them to devote their lives to the service of the Church. Help them to respond to your Son’s call with a love that will spend itself in service to their brothers and sisters. St. Therese, Patroness of Vocation, Pray for us!
