Greetings From Bishop Gregory Parkes

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

Thank you for accepting my invitation to visit our diocesan website to learn more about how together, we can soar to new heights! Our amazing family includes more than 480,000 Catholics in 79 parishes and missions spread throughout five counties, diocesan staff, clergy, religious sisters and brothers, parish and school leaders who are united in our commitment to serve and to be as helpful as possible. As we head into the new year, I can’t help but look back over 2020 and reflect on the challenges so many faced, and also the blessings that were revealed through perseverance.

I invite you to explore these webpages filled with information about the wonderful outreach and ministry we have adapted and grown to continue serving. I encourage you to join us in fulfilling our sacred purpose to Courageously Live the Gospel by proclaiming the Good News and inviting all to encounter the love and mercy of Jesus Christ.

May God bless you always!

Bishop Gregory Parkes
