My Dear Friends in Christ

It is with great happiness that I welcome you to our Diocesan Website.

This new venture brings together many of the organisations active in our Diocesan Family. If you take the time to visit the various web pages, you will become more aware of the vast diversity of activity which exists within our Church. This diversity enriches and strengthens us as we journey towards our ultimate goal, the Kingdom of God.

The Church is like a tree with many branches, while the branches of the tree are all different, they share a common purpose. So too, the different agencies of the Diocese work independently towards a common purpose, the coming of God’s Kingdom among us. These different Diocesan Organisations are all signs of the Kingdom, and they bring hope into a world that thirsts for Christ.

Please use this opportunity to learn more about our Diocesan Church. Pray for our Church, discover her diversity, and involve yourselves in the ministry of Christ. For when we work together in this common venture, we help to make the Kingdom of God present among us.

Devotedly yours in Christ,
(Most Rev.) James M. Wingle D.D.
Bishop of St. Catharines
