This weekend, we celebrate the feast of the exaltation of the holy cross in liturgies, since September 14 falls on a Sunday this year. It is a great opportunity for us to meditate on the meaning the cross of Christ has in our Catholic faith. This upcoming week, Bishop Kopacz will celebrate his 75th birthday. We send our prayers and best wishes to Bishop Kopacz, thanking him for his leadership of our Diocese. This birthday is significant for us as a Diocese since it is the milestone when a Bishop writes his retirement letter to the Vatican. This means that the process to name a new bishop for our Diocese will begin. We will probably receive a new bishop within a year, although that process can take longer, as it took almost two years to name a new Archbishop in Mobile. Blessings to all of you as we commemorate the cross of Christ this weekend. Father Lincoln.
