Bishop’s Column

Continued from Page 1 outlets in our country. I suspect very little. I wonder is it because they don’t want our young people to know that the vast majority of people of their age in other countries are people of faith? I wonder…

Then on Sunday August 13, we will celebrate our Assumption Pilgrimage to Mount Grace. This is our principal local Marian Pilgrimage, and we are so blessed to have such a historic shrine in our diocese.

Again, weather permitting it should be a focal point of our summer activities as well as the focal point of our devotion to Our Blessed Lady. As we believe that Jesus was the first to rise from the dead, so we believe that he has also received his mother into eternity.

Yours in blessed hope,
