On August 25, the World Youth Day Cross (which will be used at the January 2019 World Youth Day in Panama) will be in the DC area. Bishop Burbidge looks back on his experience at World Youth Day.

One of our diocesan priests, Fr. Paul deLadurantaye, has been called to Rome to work in the oldest office in the Roman Curia. Bishop Burbidge discusses the significance of Father’s new post, and how you may be able to catch a glimpse of him on television with Pope Francis.

We have four pastors who will be installed at new parishes this year. What are some of the skill sets pastors need to have?
