All Things New

Bishop Neary’s priorities remain rooted in the same mission, but they are evolving to meet new realities.

Change is a sacred gift of Advent, inviting us to trust God’s promise of renewal and embrace the hope of what is yet to come.

As proposals are coming in to the CAP, Father Crane sheds some light on the process.

For more than 100 years, Catholics across the Diocese of St. Cloud have built a rich legacy of faith, nurturing our traditions, remaining devoted to the sacraments and participating in the life of the Church. It was hard for them, too, but they stayed. Their sacrifices were for me and for this generation and now it is our turn to commit and sacrifice for the next one.

Couple’s faith, nourished by the sacraments, brought them together and continues as their foundation — at home, work and in their community.

The gift of Advent is time to prepare ourselves to embrace all things new, for it reminds us that we continually begin again.

In an effort to nurture relationships between the diocesan bishop, diocesan staff and Area Catholic Community pastoral leadership, the idea for Pastoral Visits was born.

Th All Things New plan gives us the opportunity to reflect on the heritage, wisdom and traditions of faith that have grounded us while simultaneously acknowledging the demographic and cultural changes of today.
