Noonday Prayer - January 11, 2021

From Bishop Gutiérrez: Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. (Galatians 6:22) Although we do not yet know the results of the presidential election, it is clear that our diocese is experiencing a range of emotions. Whether it is uncertainty, anxiety, joy, grief, confidence or fear, it is appropriate that we gather as... one people and bring them all before the Holy One in prayer. On Thursday, November 5 at 7:30 p.m., I invite you to gather with me for the beautiful service of Compline. It will be a time a prayer and reflection enhanced by readings of scripture and for us to join together in prayer as one body and one spirit in Jesus Christ. The service will be streamed on our diocesan Facebook page. Until then please join with me in praying for our nation and for one another.

We are saddened that scammers have taken to using the Bishop’s name in fake emails to members of the Diocese. In these emails, someone posing as the Bishop is a...sking for communication to happen only through email and for favors and or gift cards to be purchased on their behalf. These emails are not genuine and it is important to note that the Bishop will not ever reach out to individuals looking for such help. Please, block the sender, report the email as spam, and feel free to reach out to Diocesan staff if you have any questions.
