FORMED. INFORMED. TRANSFORMED.
EVANGELIZATION
The weekly diocesan TV Mass keeps homebound parishioners connected to their faith. The Central Minnesota Catholic magazine and weekly e-newsletter inform us about the life of the Church and inspire us to live our faith more deeply. The diocese’s social media channels bring the Good News to new audiences. All these ministries equip us to be more effective missionary disciples in our communities.
PRIESTHOOD. DIACONATE. RELIGIOUS LIFE.
RELIGIOUS VOCATIONS
Discerning a vocation to the priesthood, diaconate or religious life requires time, prayer and significant self-searching. We are blessed in the Diocese of Saint Cloud with good, dedicated priests who nurture us through the Eucharist, teach us through the Word and serve the other spiritual needs of God’s people. Our deacons faithfully teach, preach and serve our parishes and Area Catholic Communities. We are blessed in this diocese with religious communities that serve the spiritual needs of God’s people in a variety of ways.
