Led by the innovative Bishop Kevin Vann, the Diocese has demonstrated a willingness to adopt creative methods when reaching out the 1.3+ million registered Catholics it serves.

The Diocese will celebrate its 40th anniversary September 18, 2016. As part of a day-long series of special events, Bishop Vann endorsed the hosting of a Christian Music Festival – “JOURNEY.”
