We are planning a yearlong charity extravaganza in honor of the 50th Anniversary of the Diocese of Charlotte. Our plans include food, water and coat collections, some fun activities and much, much more. We want the Diocese to know what we know, that we have the most generous parishioners in NC!
On January 12, 1972, Pope Paul VI established the Diocese of Charlotte. Together with Bishop Jugis, all parishes are invited to
acknowledge this 50th Anniversary Year by recalling the past with gratitude, celebrating the present with joy, and looking to the future with hope that we might glorify God and strengthen our diocesan family.

Please join Bishop Jugis in offering up prayers and sacrifices for these special intentions each month during the 50th anniversary year!
Heavenly Father, accept our humble prayer of praise and gratitude as we joyfully celebrate fifty years as the Diocese of Charlotte. Throughout our history the faithful of Western North Carolina, under the watchful care of esteemed bishops and abbots, have been nurtured by Your providential hand. Confident that You invite Your children to implore Your constant blessings, we pray that You continue to pour forth Your heavenly grace upon us. With filial affection and devotion, we further ask that You look kindly upon the prayers we seek through the intercession of our venerable patroness, the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, who with motherly attention tends to the needs and concerns of the Church. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever. Amen.
