The Eucharistic Congress is an event bringing faithful from around the diocese together to spend a day centered around the Eucharist; a day to Ignite the Faith of all those in attendance. The day will feature keynote and breakout sessions, Mass, adoration and more.

On Thursday, September 12, 2019, the Office of Schools will be hosting an inaugural Back to School Mass. Bishop Paul J. Bradley will be celebrating Mass at 11:30 a.m. at Wing Stadium, Kalamazoo. All of our Catholic education community is invited to celebrate our faith and the beginning of a new school year.

In a letter to the Faithful, Bishop Bradley is calling for a diocesan-wide Day of Prayer for Peace and an End to Violence to be celebrated on the Feast of the Assumption, August 15, 2019. He writes, "Even in the face of these despicable acts, we must remain a prayerful, faithful and hope-filled people. Therefore, I ask that our entire Diocese designate next week’s Holy Day of Obligation’s celebration of the Assumption of our Blessed Mother into Heaven, as a Day of Prayer for Peace and an End to Violence. I am inviting all 59 of our Parishes to devote special prayers during their Holy Day Masses, as we all call upon the intercession of our Blessed Mother, and as we stand in solidarity for the protection of all human life. Next week, on August 15, 2019, the Church celebrates the Feast of the Assumption of Our Lady, body and soul, into her Heavenly Home. I feel this is a fitting time to once again turn to our Blessed Mother during these times of trouble to seek her protection, to ask for her intercession, and to know that she will stand with us and help us."
