Diocese of Orange Sponsorship and Planning

Under the leadership of the Most Reverend Bishop Timothy E. Freyer and the Very Rev. Alfred S. Baca, Episcopal Vicar and director of the Office of Ecumenism and Inter-religion, the Diocese of Orange is sponsoring the visit of one of the four Missionary Images throughout the diocese. The Missionary Image Executive Committee spent many months planning the visit of the Missionary Image to be venerated at St. Jude Medical Center, the Pro-Sanctity Spirituality Center, and several parishes throughout the dioceses from November 1 – 24, 2024.

The Executive Committee consists of Kerrie Lloyd (who was inspired to bring the Missionary Image to the Diocese of Orange), Mary Brunson, Anthony Vultaggio, Kathleen Conway, Deacon Tom Concitis, Deacon Bernie Ocampo, Ryan Kelly, Mirande Emde, Rachel Wolven-Everett, Jennifer Ott, Hope Bourman, Mike Kelly, Tim Stidham, and Marc Lombardino.
