Bishop Golka's Reflection on the Fourth Sunday of Easter

I was very saddened to hear of the passing of Pope Francis on the morning of April 21. He was the vicar of Christ on earth for 12 years and challenged us in many ways, especially to be joyful witnesses of the Gospel and calling the Church to go out to the peripheries to bring the mercy and love of Christ to those who need it the most. 

Me entristeció mucho escuchar el fallecimiento del Papa Francisco en la mañana del 21 de abril. Fue Vicario de Cristo en la tierra durante doce años y nos desafió de muchas maneras, especialmente a ser testigos gozosos del Evangelio y llamar a la Iglesia a salir a las periferias para llevar la misericordia y el amor de Cristo a quienes más lo necesitan.  

Bishop James Golka announces the following clergy appointments:

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and this year’s mental health awareness theme is “From Awareness to Action.” Many Catholic dioceses across the United States are taking action to support the mental health of their parishioners.
