Dear Friends in Christ,

I am convinced that God has a special place in our Church for each of you. Our diocese has been blessed for 150 years with the dedicated witness of priests, sisters and religious brothers. Diocesan life has been enriched by the faithfulness of generous married couples and by those who have followed Jesus as single lay faithful.

However, there has never been anyone quite like you before. We might say our diocesan church has been waiting for 150 years for you to come along. I will ask the Holy Spirit to help you know how Jesus is calling you to follow him in the Catholic Church. Try to listen to the call of Jesus with a generous heart.

Throughout our history, this diocese has depended upon the generous service of priests and men and women called to consecrated life. I pray that the Lord is still calling young people to such service in the Church, and I ask you to consider whether you might be one of those he is calling.

With best wishes, I am,

Bishop George J. Lucas
