Selected diocesan highlights and practical resources • Updated October 4, 2026
This year’s theme is The Power of the Holy Spirit. The Diocese invites parishes to pray for Catholic education and to recognize the shared mission of home, parish, and school. On Catholic Education Sunday, a special collection will support Catholic education across the Diocese, with matching funds available through a diocesan initiative.
Meet Mike MacDonald and Fr. Pedro Hernández and hear stories from Mission Mexico and the communities they serve. Tickets are $25 and include a taco bar and a glass of wine.
Training for parishioners called to support the sick, elderly, dying, homebound, and bereaved through a ministry of presence.
The Diocese will match up to $250,000 of funds from the Catholic Education Sunday collection distributed among Catholic school districts.
Bishop William T. McGrattan will celebrate Mass, giving thanks to God, the Author of Life, and praying for the dignity and sanctity of every human life.
Young unmarried men discerning their vocation are invited for reflection, silent prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, and the Rosary at St. Cecilia Parish.
