Join Catholics throughout the Diocese on Sunday, November 17, 2019 as we celebrate the World Day of the Poor with Mass, a Holy Hour, and several food collections at various locations in the Diocese.

Join Bishop Burbidge as he celebrates Mass for the World Day of the Poor at 10 a.m. in English, noon in Spanish, and leading a Holy Hour for the intentions of the poor at 1:30 p.m. at Christ the Redeemer Catholic Church.
