MOST REV. DAVID J. BONNAR
Bishop of Youngstown
Bishop David Bonnar’s homily at Kent State University Parish Newman Center/Immaculate Heart of Mary Chapel on Sunday evening, October 3, 2021.
Bishop Bonnar: “With The Catholic Echo, we now look forward to extending our reach… so that the echo of our Catholic faith can reverberate to the farthest corners of our diocese.”
Bishop Bonnar: “Studies show that parishes that foster Eucharistic Adoration become a seed bed for religious vocations. It is my hope that more parishes will embrace this tradition.”
Bishop Bonnar: “My brothers and sisters, we too have been chosen to reveal, by our work and ministry, God’s love for the poor, especially those experiencing the poverty of loss and grief.”
Bishop Bonnar at Ohio March for Life: “All life is precious and in the spirit of Saint Joseph, to be ‘welcomed, cherished, and safeguarded.’ But these efforts… must never focus solely on the unborn.”
Bishop Bonnar: “Our work is not finished. While we need to accompany our moms in need, we must continue to promote and protect the dignity of every human person.”
Bishop Bonnar: “Families in so many ways have much to contribute to the Church. Time and again what they bring is joy.”
