BISHOP BARRON INSPIRES
Inspire: Called to Love
Bishop: 'A day of joy in our faith' At the conclusion of the Sept. 25 diocesan vocation summit "Inspire: Called to Love," Bishop Terry R. LaValley expressed his gratitude to all who worked to make the day a success. "We have been gifted with a day in which we found such joy in our faith as we (young and not-so-young) shared and celebrated being a Catholic Christian up here
in the North Country," the bishop said. 'The Holy Spirit had a field day!" With much gratitude, I pray that as we now roll up our sleeves and extend our hands and hearts to one another, the Lord will give us a standing ovation for we gave it a shot and scored, all through the grace of God," Bishop LaValley said.
