Form Disciples

To be a follower of Jesus Christ, a disciple must first know Jesus. We provide a variety of opportunities to be informed, formed and transformed to the heart of Christ.

Encourage Vocations

All are called to holiness, some through the Catholic priesthood and religious life. Through education, discernment, prayer, and formation, we encourage people to listen and respond to God's call.

Prepare Catholics for Ministry

It is our hope, prayer and challenge that all who minister in the Diocese be confident and competent servants of the Church.

Help Those Who are Hurting

Hope and healing are hallmarks of Jesus' ministry. With the Christian community as a source of God's consolation, we provide a variety of diocesan and parish programs to support those who are hurting.

Enable Full Participation in the Church

All are welcomed in God's Kingdom. We strive to create environments and opportunities for those with varying languages, or physical and mental abilities, to participate fully in the Church.

Support Marriage and Family Life

We assist engaged couples in preparing for lifelong Sacramental marriage, and support married couples and families by providing opportunities to build their relationship with God.

Educate Our Children

Jesus said, "Let the children come to me." We respond to his call, bringing our children to Christ and educating them in mind, heart and spirit.

Enrich the Lives of Senior Adults

Recognizing the gift of mature people, we support the development of ministries enabling them to remain active participants in Church life, while providing experiences for their personal spiritual growth.
