Heart of Christ

This fall, our diocesan family of faith has the opportunity to learn more about the Heart of Christ. Bishop Loverde released a pastoral letter entitled "Fountain of Life, Fire of Love." Then, on the Feast of Christ the King, as a diocese, we will consecrate ourselves to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
