A major task for Religious today is to become fully aware of living in a period of transformation.  We must make a deep commitment to creative change!  To be true to our prophetic vocation - and to ensure that the values of the gospel are included - we religious must be in the forefront of the creative ferment which is shaping the 21st century.

RETIREMENT APPEAL: Religious in the Diocese are grateful for the tremendous support pastors and associates gave to the National Religious Retirement Appeal in December of 2007. The enthusiastic support of this appeal contributed significantly to the $ 474,197.79 which was collected. The retired religious will remember in prayer their benefactors and the priests who supported the appeal.

Please make a note: Campaign materials such as bulletin announcements, homilies, and sample talks will be available after September 1, 2008 at www.retiredreligious.org. National appeal date is December 13 – 14, 2008.
