World Day of Prayer for Consecrated Life – February 2, 2025: In our diocese, we have been blessed with religious communities who have dedicated their lives in ministry, prayer and community to the Church and have been part of our diocese for over 150 years. Did you know that we currently have nine religious communities in our diocese? Three women’s religious orders and eight priests from six different congregations and religious orders serve in our diocesan parishes. This year, in a spirit of gratitude for their presence, ministry, and apostolate in the diocese, Bishop Joseph wishes to acknowledge that commitment during a Diocesan Celebration of Consecrated Life on Saturday, February 1, 2025, at Holy Redeemer Church at 4 pm. Everyone is welcome to come, meet our consecrated men and women, and express gratitude to them for their fidelity, service and dedicated witness to the Gospel.
