As we witness the unfolding tragedy of the terrible destruction left by last weekend’s tornadoes which ripped through the South and Midwestern United States, especially Kentucky, our hearts go out to those who have been so severely impacted with loss of life, homes, businesses, and churches.  While we continue to ask God to strengthen and comfort all who have been affected, we also heed the call to reach out in Christ-like love and charity to offer our financial help to those in great need. 

Bishop Bradley is urging all Catholics and all people of good will to pray for all those impacted by these devastating events and to prayerfully consider financial assistance to those in need by supporting the disaster relief efforts of Catholic Charities USA.

"On December 9, I was elected to serve on the Board of Directors of the Michigan Catholic Conference.  The board is composed of all of the Bishops of the province, along with 6 lay persons and one priest in the state.  I was elected as that one priest for a three-year term, renewable for an additional three years.  The Michigan Catholic Conference serves as the official voice of the Catholic Church in Michigan on matters of public policy. In addition, the Michigan Catholic Conference develops, coordinates, and manages programs that provide retirement benefits, health, dental, disability, and life insurance coverage for lay employees and clergy, as well as property and casualty coverage for the Church throughout Michigan.  I’m honored to be the first priest in the history of the Diocese of Kalamazoo to serve on the Board of Directors.”

Click and listen to Bishop Bradley’s latest Pastoral Letter, “Let Our Hearts Be In-Spired for Mission: A Reflection on the Holy Spirit.”

The purpose of this special Year is to prayerfully beseech the Holy Spirit to pour out His abundant, powerful Gifts upon our Diocese, all our parishes, and on each member of the Clergy and Faithful.  Strengthened by the most Holy Eucharist, and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we fervently pray that the Holy Spirit will inspire and enflame all of us with the “Fire of His Love”.   We also pray that all of us will demonstrate a readiness and enthusiasm to do what Jesus asks of us: to love God and Neighbor in word, in deed and in fact.  Then, mindful of the Mission Jesus gave to His Apostles and to the Church, and strengthened by the Holy Spirit, that we will renew our commitment to be courageous and joyful witnesses to Jesus and His Church in the world, with the Goal of strengthening our own Faith, and of sharing our Faith with others.
