Welcome

Our Diocese is a collaborative community of engaged members with a "can-do" spirit who are creative, energetic, and generous followers of Jesus. We are rooted in Christ and open to the world. You are welcome here and we look forward to seeing you.

What We Do

Actions speak louder than words. We practice loving our neighbors as ourselves and upholding the dignity of every human being through our work.

Give

Giving—whether of funds, skills, or time—is a way for us to show gratitude to God for the gift of community and companionship, of the blessings we receive along the journey. We invite you to first consider giving to your local parish or to one of these initiatives.
