On August 27th, the Honorable Wendy A. Kinsella of the United States Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of New York ruled that the Court will accept the Diocese of Syracuse’s plan to exit its Chapter 11 for reorganization and will confirm the plan. Please take a moment to read Bishop Lucia’s letter to our diocesan family.
On the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombings, Bishop Lucia calls for renewed commitment to peace, urging each person to become an instrument of healing and reconciliation in a world still plagued by war. Inspired by the words of St. Francis and recent papal teachings, he reminds us that lasting peace begins with individual action rooted in love, justice, and the common good.
