Bishop Bradley addresses the Faithful in a video update to explain an important change to the Celebration of Confirmations in the Diocese this Fall.

Bishop Bradley offers a video update on a number of diocesan initiatives including important changes to this year's Bishop's Annual Appeal and the reconvening of the diocesan Committee Against Racism.

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, St. Pope Paul VI wrote, “Racism is not the exclusive attribute of young nations, where sometimes it hides beneath the rivalries of clans and political parties, with heavy losses for justice and at the risk of civil war……It is still an obstacle to collaboration among disadvantaged nations and a cause of division and hatred within countries whenever individuals and families see the inviolable rights of the human person held in scorn, as they themselves are unjustly subjected to a regime of discrimination because of their race or their color.”  This was from his Encyclical Populorum progressio: Development and Peace.  This was written in 1967.
