Bishop's Office

The Bishop's Office coordinates the day-to-day business of the diocese. The multitude of activities in part coordinated by the Bishop's Office are listed in the bishop's calendar and the calendar of coming events each month in The Catholic Moment. The calendar is accessible at any time and is updated weekly.

A guiding principle for the office staff is to be leaven where needed, balm where wanted, and bearer of peace toward all.
