Be encouraged by this Christmas message from our Council of Bishops. We join with them in praying that "the Prince of Peace guide us into a new year where we live with courage, serve with compassion, and love with the boundless grace of Christ."

As the Council of Bishops, we pray that this holy season renews your faith and strengthens your witness. May the Prince of Peace guide us into a new year where we live with courage, serve with compassion, and love with the boundless grace of Christ.
