In his new pastoral letter, "The Church Forward!," penned on the occasion of the 180th anniversary of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, Bishop David Zubik reflects on the diocese's past, present, and future.
He then turns to "The Forward," or where we as the Church need to go next. With an eye towards welcoming, he exhorts each of us to embody Christ to each person we meet. He asks all parishioners and clergy to find new ways to reach and inspire others with the love of Jesus.
“We need to be able to see the Church as an invitation to the future, so that every one of us sees ourselves as important to the Church and to helping it grow. That's the reason why Jesus called people to be His disciples."
-Bishop David Zubik
