Journeys & Insights with Bishop Mike | Diocesan Recommendations
In this latest Journeys & Insights, Bishop Mike talks about the Diocese's recommendations to merge and close many of our parishes and worship sites. This is a challenging time for all of us, and any decision made will require sacrifice. We are called to embrace this sacrifice and carry our cross, following the example of Jesus. It is through this embrace that salvation is achieved. Let us pray that the sacrifices we now must endure lead us to a new season of salvation.
