One Faith, One Family

Welcome and thank you for visiting us!

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

I hope you accept this invitation to celebrate and explore the beauty of your Catholic faith. As one family of believers, I encourage you to draw closer to Christ through his sacraments and the Church he founded.  Our amazing family includes more than 150,000 registered Catholics, 53 parishes and 12 missions throughout the 17 counties of North Florida, clergy, religious sisters and brothers, parish and school leaders, and diocesan staff.

This past year has been uniquely difficult for each of us, but God has always been near – as he is our strength and provider.  His generous gifts of faith, creativity, and perseverance have abounded among our faith family in such inspiring ways!

I invite you to continue to pursue Christ with all your heart, for we and all those we encounter are changed by his real presence in our lives.  I encourage you to explore the links below for helpful resources.  You and your family remain in my prayers throughout the Lenten season.

Sincerely yours,

Bishop Felipe J. Estévez, S.T.D.
