Bishop Bonnar: Anyone who works for the Church knows “It’s not just a job. It is an adventure.” We could easily add to this slogan by saying: “It’s a vocation. It’s a journey wrapped in mystery, drama, and surprise.”
Bishop Bonnar: As a seminarian studying theology, most especially the Second Vatican Council’s Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, I came to learn that God is present in the priest, the Word, the Eucharistic species of bread and wine, and the assembly.
Bishop Bonnar: Accompaniment is not about compromise or concession but rather about reverence, compassion, and a conviction that unity is greater than conflict.

Bishop Bonnar: “What a blessed honor it is for us, in all of our humanness, to be anointed as priests of Jesus Christ and to proclaim the joy of the Gospel to the whole world!”
Bishop Bonnar: “What a blessed honor it is for us, in all of our humanness, to be anointed as priests of Jesus Christ and to proclaim the joy of the Gospel to the whole world!”
Bishop Bonnar: “Catholic Charities has a network of people who care. They exude charity and love. As a result, God is made present again and again throughout the six counties of our diocese.”
Bishop Bonnar: Led by our Holy Father, we turn to Mary today, at the same hour, and not only celebrate the joyful mystery of the annunciation but also her influence and intercession on our lives. In a particular way, we lift our hearts in prayer for the people of Ukraine and Russia in what is for us the greatest of prayers, the Holy Mass, and we echo the prayer and desire of our Holy Father that Ukraine and Russia be consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. To be consecrated is to be set apart for the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
