Ash Wednesday
Ash Wednesday is the name given to the first day of the Season of Lent.
Ash Wednesday is not a Holy Day of Obligation. We are not obligated to celebrate Mass or receive ashes. It is however a wonderful opportunity for spiritual renewal and opportunity to dedicate our Lenten Season to the Lord. 
Message From The Bishop!
A Letter to parishioners from Bishop Wester.
"Dear Brothers and sisters in Christ,
I write to you concerning an alarming and serious matter that negatively impacts the church in the United States directly, and that strikes at the fundamental right to religious liberty for all citizens of any faith..."
A Call to Action - A question of conscience.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has finalized a rule requiring that all employers provide full prescription contraception coverage to their employees. A house of worship would not have to include such coverage in their health plans, but all other religious organizations would.
Diocesan Development Drive
"With All Our Hearts, We Give Thanks." This is the theme of our 2012 Diocesan Development Drive. Our inspiration for this year comes from the beautiful Biblical Verse from Psalm 9:2; I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; I will declare all your wondrous deeds.
