Bishop DeGrood’s Priorities

Building Missionary Disciples

Born from a vision Bishop DeGrood received in prayer, our diocesan mission is clear: to build a culture of Lifelong Catholic Missionary Discipleship Through God’s Love. That mission, guided by the diocesan Office of Discipleship and Evangelization, is coming alive in our pastorates, parishes and ministries. It is being Set Ablaze by the fire of the Holy Spirit.

Will you join the mission?
